'Berlin has become Shiyyah', Berri loyalists chant in Germany
Supporters of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and the Amal Movement on Sunday turned out heavily in Lebanon’s expat parliamentary elections in Germany.
“O Nabih be at ease, Berlin has become Shiyyah,” Berri supporters are seen chanting in videos and on live television, referring to the Beirut southern suburb of Shiyyah, which is a stronghold of Berri and his Amal Movement.
The Amal Movement also enjoys a strong presence in Germany, especially in the capital Berlin.
