By IRNA,
Beirut : Lebanon’s rival political leaders are holding talks in Qatar aimed at ending the sectarian conflict which left at least 65 people dead in recent days.
They are set to discuss power-sharing in a proposed national unity government and reform of election laws.
The discussions in Doha follow an agreement on Wednesday, mediated by the Arab League, to end the fighting.
It came after the Western-backed government withdrew two key measures to curb the opposition resistance movement.
In return, the opposition agreed to end its sit-in protests in Beirut, remove street blockades and allow the capital’s international airport to re-open fully.
Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, had described the decision to dismantle its private telecommunications network and sack the airport’s security chief as a “declaration of war” by the government.
Delegates said they had agreed to form a four-member committee to decide on a framework for reform of the parliamentary election law and, once that is achieved to move onto the exact composition and balance of power within a proposed national unity government.
