In an interview with "al-Joumhoria" newspaper, Qahwaji viewed "what happened in Akkar is the result of political tension in the region."
The head of the LA urged all Lebanese political officials to stop sedition in the country."
"The Lebanese don't want to return their country to previous stages," he confirmed, pointing out that "they [the Lebanese] hold onto their government and army."
Qahwaji also stated that "the real problem is related to the political rhetoric that is responsible for agitating sedition and tension."
"The army will not allow the situation to deteriorate in the North or in any other area across Lebanon. The army stands by the people and not against them," he asserted.
