Frustration Within the Shiite Community: Power Struggles and Post-War Challenges

Amal Movement: The "Support Front" Was Ineffective

After the Shiite duo expressed their desire to participate in the government, despite President Nawaf Salam's objection.

Speaking to the "Akhbar Al-Yawm" agency, they revealed that throughout the recent war between Hezbollah and Israel, Amal Movement had been dissatisfied with Hezbollah's decision to take on a "supporting" role on October 8, 2023. They believed that entering this war was unnecessary, as it led to the destruction of the South—Amal’s core political stronghold.

These sources confirmed that a wave of popular dissatisfaction is sweeping through the "duo" community, with people troubled by the images of destruction that will remain in their minds for the foreseeable future. They questioned whether reclaiming power and securing positions within the state could fulfill the aspirations of the Shiite community in Lebanon and solidify their presence. Could a handful of compensations truly restore their homes, villages, historical markets, and neighborhoods, which are deeply etched in their memories?

The sources concluded: There is no doubt that the loss is immense and irreplaceable—no amount of ministerial portfolio or new appointments in the public administration can make up for it.
