Surprise : Hassan Nasrallah Re-elected as Hezbollah Leader…

Posted by Y

The militant Hezbollah group says that Sheik Hassan Nasrallah has been re-elected as the group’s leader for a sixth term.
A Hezbollah statement Thursday did not say when top Hezbollah officials voted to re-elect Nasrallah as the guerrilla group’s secretary-general.
The statement said Naim Kassim also has been re-elected to as the group’s deputy leader.
Hezbollah’s leadership elections are usually held every three years but they were last held in 2004. A Hezbollah official said the two-year delay was caused by internal Lebanese difference and the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media.
Nasrallah has led Hezbollah since his predecessor was killed by Israel in 1992.

    hizbollah regulations didnt allow to have a leader elected more then two concecustive periods; they are among very few lebanese groups who have ex leaders, like sob7i tfaili who wast reelected. However, after Hadi assrollah death in the frontlines in the south while fighting against israeli special forces who were advacing in Ikleem al tofa7, the image oF SHN improved a lot in lebanon and the arab world, therefore HA decided to use this image in there publicity and he stayed as the frot image since then…
    but the thing to look forward is the HA new mission statement and plan that will be the first to be issued since the one issued in there declaration in 1985…

    I heard his other son volunteered on being sent to the frontlines in 2006. He was wounded but survived if I’m not mistaken.
