BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

Russian Agriculture Minister Dmitry Patrushev revealed on Thursday that Russian grain will be delivered free to Africa in the near future.

"We will supply grain to African countries free of charge. So far, we are talking about six countries and supply volumes from 25,000 to 50,000 tons, this is being worked out now. I think that these deliveries will be carried out in the near future," Patrushev indicated.

The Minister reminded that last year, Russia exported a record amount of grain (60 million tons), adding that in the 2023-2024 season, Moscow plans to ship around 55 million tons.

"This year we plan to export about 55 million tonnes [based on] our crop plans. This figure can be adjusted upwards in the course of harvesting," he said.

"If we see that our forecasts for harvesting in terms of grain volume are growing, we will adjust the figure in terms of export volumes as well."

It is noteworthy that in late July, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed Russia's readiness to deliver 25,000-50,000 tonnes of grain to Burkina Faso, Mali, Eritrea, and a number of other African countries for free.

During the second Russia-Africa Summit that took place in the Russian city of St. Petersburg from July 27-28, Putin highlighted that despite sanctions on Russian exports, Russia delivered 11.5 million tonnes of grain to African countries in 2022 and nearly 10 million tonnes in the first six months of this year.

The Russian leader underlined that Russia is making every effort to prevent a global food crisis.

Putin pointed out that the West creates obstructions to the supply of Russian fertilizers to African nations for free and to the supply of Russian grain to the continent.
