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.

Eritrea mobilizes armed forces after Ethiopia clashes: UK, Canada

Canadian and British governments reveal that the Eritrean authorities have called on their armed forces to mobilize after the return to fight broke the truce between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian authorities.

Following the renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia, Eritrean authorities have called on their armed forces to mobilize, Canadian and British governments claimed.

Last month's return to fighting broke a March truce and destroyed hopes of a peaceful solution to the almost two-year war between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian authorities.

Tigrayan authorities have since shown a preparedness to hold talks led by the African Union, but the Ethiopian government has not given any public response to the overtures yet, but only said it remains "committed" to the AU-led peace process.

The two parties have blamed each other for firing the first shots, and fighting has spread from around southern Tigray to more fronts farther north and west, while also bringing Eritrean troops who supported Ethiopian forces during the early stage of the war.

The Canadian and British governments warned last Friday that their nationals in Eritrea should limit their movements following the mobilization call.

"Local authorities have issued a general call for mobilization of armed forces in response to the conflict in northern Ethiopia," the Canadian government said, adding, "Additional security measures could be imposed on short notice across the country."

Eritrea has not commented on the reports though.

Tigray has been bombed several times since the latest clashes broke out, and an official at Ayder Referral Hospital reported the death of 16 people due to the air strikes.

On August 24, fighting commenced between the TPLF and Addis Ababa, after nearly a 5-month-truce since march.

Fighting has escalated in northern Tigray, where the Ethiopian army, supported by forces from neighboring Eritrea, is attacking rebel positions, according to diplomatic and foreign sources who requested anonymity.

Tigray, in northern Ethiopia, is cut off from the rest of the country and without power, telecommunications networks, banking services, or petrol.

The delivery of humanitarian aid by road and air has also been completely interrupted since the fighting resumed. This return to hostilities "is already affecting the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable people, including the delivery of vital humanitarian assistance" in Afar, Amhara, and Tigray, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on September 9.
