Nidaa Al Watan: The visit by President of the Republic Joseph Aoun to Tripoli last Saturday can be summed up as a battle over image and political exploitation, between what it was intended to be, the campaigns of criticism and counter-exploitation, and the paths it ultimately took, which were not originally on the list of targets.
