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.

Nicaragua will be exiting the Organization of American States (OAS), a statement made by Foreign Minister Denis Moncada said on Sunday.

"The People and Government of Nicaragua denounce [...] a political instrument of intervention and domination of the US State Department, wrongly and falsely called the Organization of American States," the statement read.

The statement also condemned the OAS as an "instrument of the colonial administration, which does not represent at any time the Sovereign Union of Our Latin and Caribbean America."

On the contrary, Managua said, the OAS "is an instrument of Yankee imperialism to violate rights and independencies, sponsoring and promoting interventions and invasions, legitimizing coups in different formats and modalities, with the aim - which they have not accomplished - of disintegrating, through humiliation, submission, and surrender, our national sovereignties."

Nicaragua had on November 19, 2021, expressed its strong desire to leave the organization, and the process is finalized with today's statement, officially declaring Nicaragua as no longer a member of the OAS.

Morales hails Nicaragua

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales described Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega's decision to withdraw his country from the OAS as "an act of dignity", hailing the move. 

"Nicaragua's departure from the OAS is an act of dignity. It expresses a sovereign position aimed at making us respect ourselves as peoples before an institution dominated by Luis Almagro and his group. As long as Almagro remains in the OAS, more governments will withdraw from it," Morales said.

"Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua have managed to free themselves from Imperialism, affirm their sovereignty, and resist the US economic blockade and the OAS diplomatic blockade, which are mechanisms for organizing coups and military interventions in Latin America," he added.

On Saturday, Cuba's Foreign Affairs Ministry issued a statement supporting Nicaragua's decision to separate from an organization through which "the United States has repeatedly tried to impose its interests on the Americas."

"On multiple occasions, the OAS has kept silent in the face of coups in our region. It has been an accessory to isolation attempts and military interventions. It supported economic aggression... That institution was the servile instrument of the United States to orchestrate the coup against Bolivia, which included the use of violence against elected officials," the Cuban diplomats stressed in their statement.

Nicaragua's decision to withdraw from the OAS was the consequence of a series of US aggression against the Sandinista revolution, citing the latest US bid at interfering in the affairs of Nicaragua by questioning the validity of the presidential elections held on November 7.
