U.S. Ambassador Cancels Visit to Sidon Municipality over Protests
The US ambassador to Lebanon Dorothy Shea cancelled a visit to the municipality of Sidon on Wednesday after some protesters chanted slogans rejecting her visit, the National News Agency reported.
A group of protesters staged a sit-in in the main city’s Nejmeh square, opposite the municipality building and chanted slogans against the US policies.
NNA said the protesters were groups from the Nasserite Popular Organization, the Democratic Party, the Communist Party, the Arab National Youth, in addition to leftist groups, and a number of the Sidon movement groups.
The Ambassador later headed to Majdalyoun where she met MP Bahiaa Hariri. She also visited the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture in Sidon and the South.

God bless hezbollah aka the lebanese government, army and the presidency for ensuring the ambassador of the imperlialist and colonial United States of America did not set foot in the capital of the south, Sidon and the hub of the resistance.
The United States schemes will be defeated on all fronts due to the steadfastness of the axis of resistance led by our Shia Islamic Republic of Iran.
Shea Shia Shea !!!

Lebanon doesn't need US aid. Hezbollah will get whatever money Lebanon needs from Iran.

You are correct Hezbollah can get the money by continuing to rob the Lebanese treasury and say it is halal. Can you let me know what has Hezbollah done for Lebanon after protecting it from the invasion of Israel? when will the Shia liberate Palestine, or retaliate for the killing of the Iranians in Syrai and the scientist in Iran? I bet they will do it soon..

I bet you if you told these protesters that the Ambassador is coming to give each an everyone of them a VISA to immigrate to the US they would roll out the red carpet and shower her with rose water
