Souha Bechara watching her region, albeit from afar (Souha Bechara est une héroïne incontestée de la résistance libanaise, laïque, communiste… – je suppose que tu n’entendras plus jamais parler de ces déclarations, qui ne correspondent pas à la grille de lecture confessionnelle désormais obligatoire) :

Bechara described calls made by some Lebanese factions that Hezbollah hand over its arms to the state as “empty talk.”
“We all know that the Lebanese state cannot engage in battles against any neighboring country. We do not have the capability to do so,” Bechara said.
“Whereas the guerilla warfare has led to victory even before the emergence of Hezbollah,” she continued, in reference to resistance operations carried out against Israel by Lebanese secular groups in the 1980s.
Asked whether she supported Hezbollah’s military involvement in Syria alongside the regime of President Bashar Assad, Bechara said that the party’s decision to join the war next door was based on an assessment of events that had turned out to be correct. She said that Hezbollah was fighting in Lebanon’s neighbor in order to prevent sectarian war from reaching the country.
“ Hezbollah believed that a sectarian war would have fatal consequences for it and that this very war would erupt in Iraq and would reach Lebanon,” she explained. “This assessment turned out to be right.”
Sur les droits des femmes au Liban :
Bechara said that much still needed to be done so that Lebanese women had equal rights.
“I cannot say that Lebanese women have no presence [in society], but more efforts should be made on all levels, particularly to push for the endorsement of laws granting women equal rights to those of men,” Bechara explained. “There is also the need for women to have a role in politics.”
She lamented that Lebanese law prevented her from passing her Lebanese nationality to her two girls.
