Armed presence in Aisha Bakar area. Reason unknown.
An armed clash took place near Al-Qassar Mosque in Aisha Bakar, and initial information indicate that at least two casualties had occurred.

In the details, it was reported that the clash occurred between young men from the Amal movement and the Future Movement, after Samer Ammar (the director of the office of Brigadier General Demashk) had been beaten up.

It is noteworthy that Demashk (Abu Ali), nicknamed "Abu Khashaba", is the commander of the Parliament's guard.
The accident happened at a Future Movement (Hariri) manned roadblock.

The Amal Movement guy is seriously injured (bullet under heart) while there are 4 injuries one critical between future movement.
Al-Jadeed information: Samer Ammar, who was injured in Aisha Bakkar's clash, is stable, and he is currently in the operating room.
"In just over one week, Netanyahu has punished Jordan, mocked Egypt, irked the Saudis and gotten the UAE to send a plane for nothing.

He also revealed one state secret - all for his election campaign."

The Prime Minister-designate, Saad Hariri, received this afternoon in the Wasat House, Governor of the Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh, and discussed with him the general financial and economic conditions.
Something I shouldn't have missed yesterday:

On March 16th we remember and mourn a hero who stood against the Iraq war and invasion and who died defending Palestinians against the Western-backed Israeli war machine.

She was crushed to death by an IDF bulldozer

Hezbullah should understand that today is harder than 1997. If they do not become pro-active in Lebanese politics and start taking bold actions, another "Harakat Al Mahroumin" movement will be born and it will scar deeper than that of Sobhi Al Toufayli.

Time is of gold.
Day after day the shia community is growing more desperate and angry. Not against Hezbullah but against his lack of action to face the situation in Lebanon. They have trust.

People need action because with each passing day, the community becomes weaker.
Enemy media (Israel):

The Zionist entity received an official letter from the Hague Court to open an investigation into the crimes committed by the entity.

Lebanon's ex president narrating his story with ex PM Rafic Al Hariri quoting the latter saying:" No, stay away from these communists \[not actual communists], they will tell you start industrial and agriculture projects. They will destroy Lebanon."
Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khaminai told IRGC that it is Hezbullah's Nasrallah that decides and supervises the overall strategy of the axis of resistence.
PM Al Hariri will visit President Aoun tomorrow. Do not expect a government formation as neither have decided to budge or soften their remarks / demands.
Hariri's visit tomorrow is simply to say:" I have a formation, Aoun keeps on refusing it. Blame Aoun."
🦠 The USA, UK and EU once again blocked a measure to temporarily waive patent rules at the World Trade Organization. It would have permitted the manufacturing of generic vaccines in the global South.

American experts suggested to WaPo that China's and Russia's "aggressive vaccine diplomacy" is "striking in our own backyard" by providing vaccines to Latin America. The Biden's administration has likewise focused on countering China and Russia, with (narrow) commitments to Japan, India and WHO's COVAX initiative targeting 20% of vaccine needs in the South. [Obviously, it's not the same as to secure for Israel]

A "global leadership", but not at the expense of lower profits for Pfizer and Moderna. "PhRMA, the leading industry lobby group, spent over $530 million on lobbying and political donations last year."

On Saturday night I will likely open a clubhouse room and will discuss the Hezbullah - Iran relationship in the light of Nahas's recent remarks and some questions asked.

It will be in Arabic and it will involve a general discussion after. Will post the link below when done.
