Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Aoun’s era should not be allowed to slip to that of Lahoud
2018-08-27
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The campaign led by Hezbollah in Leb to normalize relations with Bashir al-Assad’s regime goes beyond the traditional political acrimony in the country.

It’s a new moment of the bitter moments of confrontation against "the curse of geography." So how is it when Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah has declared two triumphs: the victory of Leb in 2006, which he celebrated again, and victory in Syria, which he linked to the first, in a single speech?

There is a fait accompli in Syria in which the headline is that Assad has won. It is true that the victory came at the price of the destruction of nearly half of the country’s buildings and the immigration or internal displacement of more than 13 million people within and outside the country, with too many lives lost or maimed, but it’s still victory according to the standards of Assad and his allies.
