Following are the main points of the agreement unveiled by Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani: 1) A return to the status quo before the clashes broke out on May 5, when the government announced two decisions against Hizbullah. "The immediate end to any form of armed presence, the withdrawal of all armed militants from the streets and the opening of all roads as well as the airport and the port." The deal stipulates a "return to normal life with the army taking charge of civil peace and the running of public and private institutions." 2) Sheikh Hamad said there should be a re-launch of a national dialogue to restore confidence among the rival parties leading to the formation of a national unity government and a new electoral law. "This accord will be crowned with the end of a sit-in in the center of Beirut on the eve of the election of consensus candidate General Michel Suleiman president." 3) "Dialogue begins as soon as this accord is announced and as soon as the first point is implemented, in Doha on Friday, (May) 16, under the auspices of the Arab League. The dialogue will continue until an accord is struck." 4) All sides to refrain from any resort to violence to achieve political goals. 5) "Launching a dialogue (also in Doha) to shore up the authority of the Lebanese state throughout the country and its relations with the different parties in Lebanon in order to guarantee the security of the state and its citizens." 6) All political leaders to refrain from using language that might incite political or sectarian violence.(AFP)
