Beirut - Hezbollah on Saturday called on rebels across the Arab world who are fighting for regime change to be patient and confident of their eventual victory.
'God will grant you victory if you persist in your jihad,' said Hezbollah secretary general Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah during a rally in Beirut's southern suburbs. He referred to the popular uprisings in Bahrain, Yemen and Libya.
'These revolutions are the will of the people. They express awareness, enthusiasm and willingness to sacrifice. This should not be forgotten by the regimes that are facing these people,' Nasrallah said.
The Hezbollah chief said a great victory was achieved in Tunisia and Egypt, where both presidents were ousted, but that Libya was in the midst of a civil war, and the regimes in Bahrain and Yemen were on the brink of conflict.
