| 2007-02-04 |
| The head of Lebanon's Free Shiite movement Mohammad el Haj Hassan has declared that the Shiite file will no longer be the property of the exclusive agents of Iran & Syria, meaning Hezbollah and Amal movements. He insisted that the original exclusive representation shall revert back to the community of the Shiites of Lebanon. Sheikh Hassan was talking after meeting with MP Walid Jumblatt at his palace in Mukhtara, Chouf region of Mount Lebanon. During the meeting he updated Jumblatt on the current situation with Lebanon's Shiites . He insisted that the Shiites of Lebanon are Arabs who strongly support the current government of Lebanon and believe in Lebanon's Independence , sovereignty and freedom. Sheikh Hassan also insisted that Lebanon will not be a Persian satellite and warned of Iran's conspiracies against the Arabs. He also attacked the Syrian regime and accused it of being behind the destabilization of Lebanon. He also defended MP Walid Jumblatt and said " We refuse all the accusations and attacks against him. He is a national leader and a man of high integrity . All the accusations of treason against of him are false and will only serve as encouragement to his enemies to murder him". Sheikh Hassan insisted that the Free Shiites are the majority in Lebanon and not Hezbollah or Amal movement. He called on the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and Amal leader Nabih Berri to urge their Shiite supporters and allies to remove the tents urgently from downtown Beirut saying "this should be done today and not tomorrow", since "these tents have only served to destabilize the country and divide the Lebanese people". |
