Lebanon Urged to Disarm Hezbollah and Other Illegal Armed Groups
According to a recent opinion piece by Ali Hussein, a Lebanese political commentator, it is time for Lebanon to take serious action in disarming Hezbollah and all other illegal armed groups. The article emphasizes the importance of a sovereign Lebanon, where no armed group is allowed to stand above the state.
The piece draws a comparison with Iraq, which has reportedly imposed a deadline and promised consequences for non-compliance. In contrast, Lebanon has been criticized for producing phases, extensions, and excuses, rather than taking concrete action.
The author argues that sovereignty cannot be maintained when armed factions are permitted to veto the authority of the state. The opinion piece calls for Lebanon to have “one nation, one army, one authority,” highlighting the need for a unified and authoritative government.
