Prime Minister Tamam Sallam said Lebanon will not celebrate its Indepence Day this year because of the hindrances at all state institutions especially the absence of a president.
The Lebanese "Al-Nahar" newspaper said Sallam will not chair the celebrations on behalf of the president, but will only put a wreath of flowers on the tombs of leaders of Lebanon's independence.
The Lebanese Independence Day, on November 22, 1943, is a national day celebrated in remembrance of the liberation from the French Mandate which was exercised over Lebanese soil for over 23 years.
