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.

    Algeria's Tebboune: France must free itself from 'colonizer complex'

Algeria's head of state, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, said on Saturday that France must set itself free from its "colonizer complex" for diplomatic relations to be reshaped between the two countries. 

"The relations between the two countries need -- in order to cool down -- France to liberate itself from its colonizer complex and Algeria from its colonized complex," Tebboune said at an interview with Le Figaro. 

"We must take into account the 132 years of occupation because it did not start with the war of independence. There are proven, archived, and documented facts, and we cannot hide the writings attest," said Tebboune. 

He further called on the former colonial empire to "decontaminate" the tests site where it conducted nuclear drills, adding that France must cover the medical expenses of people that were affected in the areas, namely Reggane and Tamanrasset.

French President Emmanuel Macron has long brushed aside the possibility of issuing a formal apology for the North African country over France's colonial past. 

During Algeria's independance war between 1954 and 1962, it is estimated that French troops killed 1.5 million Algerians. In October, Algeria's presidential office said that over 5.6 million Algerians were killed during the colonial period.

In recent times, Algeria has been strengthening its ties with China in a bid to "contribute to the emergence of a multipolar world away from unilateral policies and hegemonic endeavors," according to a statement made in early December by Algeria's Prime Minsiter.
