Leba**n's foreign minister called on Arab countries on Monday to support the Lebanese army to counter fallout from Syria's civil war, which he said threatened to tear the country apart. Around 1 million Syrian refugees have fled to Leba**n, a displacement that has strained public infrastructure and threatened to upset the sectarian balance. This "is threatening the existence of Leba**n", Gebran Bassil told reporters before a meeting of Arab League leaders in Kuwait on Tuesday. Power in Leba**n is split between Shi'ites, Sunnis, Druze and Christian leaders - reflecting the mixed population - and many fear that Sunni refugees, who represent the majority in Syria, could disrupt the fragile demographic balance.
