US warned of Lebanese civil unrest as South casts vote
By: Karim Tellawi
BEIRUT, Lebanon: US pressure on Lebanon could lead to turmoil,
warned the chief of Lebanon's Hizbollah group Hassan Nasrallah
advising the Lebanese to unite and reject Washington's demands.
The United States is leading calls for Lebanon to disarm Iran-backed
pro-Syrian Hizbollah in line with a UN resolution last year which also
called for Syrian troops to leave Lebanon, which they have now done.
“The Americans will push the country to strife if it doesn't go along
with their priorities, agenda and arrangements. They want strife (in
Lebanon),” Nasrallah told a meeting on Friday.
His statement comes as more than 300,000 voters from Sidon, Tyre and
Jezzine will head to 634 polling stations on Sunday to elect their
representatives in the South, after the completion of all
administrative and security preparations.
Hizbollah runs on a joint ticket with Amal Movement that is led by
Nabih Berri, parliament speaker, in the second stage of the polls on
Sunday.
He said the Lebanese should think for themselves what to do after the
May 29-June 19 parliamentary elections.
