BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
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.

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that two opposing protests have taken the streets of Tunisia’s capital on September 18, one protesting over Tunisian President Kais Saied’s decisions, another expressing their support. 

Anti-government demonstrators chanted “shut down the coup" and "we want a return to legitimacy", while Saied supporters chanted "the people want to dissolve parliament".

The Tunisian Ennahda movement has recently exerted pressure to end the exceptional measures taken by President Saied and to lift the freezing of parliament.

The movement described the constitution of 2014 to be a fruit of national dialogue that raised Tunisia's status and led to it winning the Noble peace prize in 2015.

On his account, Saied has recently said that the government would be formed as soon as possible, without specifying a date. In another statement, he announced that Tunisia would not accept any foreign interference.

The counter-protest is the first since the Tunisian President declared on July 25 he was dismissing the prime minister, suspending parliament, and assuming executive authority.
