In Lebanon, the stalemate is total, no new government is in sight and the country sinks deeper into the economic crisis. In this disturbing situation, what is the position of Hezbollah, a powerful armed political party from the Shiite community of this country?
With our special envoy in southern Lebanon, Nicolas Falez
Nabatieh is one of the strongholds of Hezbollah. Grizzly beard carefully carved, this man does not want to give his name and it is with suspicion that he now considers the protest movement that has lasted for nearly fifty days in Lebanon. " The first days, the 17th, 18th and even the 19th of October, were just demands and all the people were demonstrating. Then the embassies started to interfere and they began to manipulate them, he says. It's directed against Hezbollah, but as long as we have a wise leader who is Hassan Nasrallah, there is no danger. "

Invisible in Nabatieh, the protest movement appears in Saïda, still in southern Lebanon. The young demonstrators set up a camp on a square where this activist refutes the accusations of Hezbollah. " We are not against Hezbollah or against anyone, we are the resistance! She insists. This government is trying to make believe that within the movement some would like some confession, but this is not the case! "
Hezbollah has become unavoidable in the Lebanese political landscape. He supports Christian President Michel Aoun and he has several ministers in the outgoing government.
