Lebanese Shi'ites forced to depart UAE
By: Sultan Ahmed
UAE: Palestinian and Lebanese officials said that a
number of Palestinians and Lebanese Shi'ites have been forced to leave
the United Arab Emirates in recent months.
Hussam Ahmed, head of the Refugee Affairs Department in the Gaza
Strip, which is controlled by the Islamist group Hamas, said hundreds
of Palestinians had been dismissed from their jobs in the UAE for
security reasons.
In Beirut, a senior Lebanese political source said 45 Lebanese
Shi'ites living in the UAE had either not been granted re-entry or had
been asked to leave. No reason was given for the decisions.
"Some of them had been living in the country for 20 years. They were
doctors and business owners," the source told Reuters.
He said Lebanese President Michel Suleiman had sent an envoy in the
past week to meet with UAE officials on the issue.

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
