Oussama Saad: Assir's sit-in a “complete and utter failure”

2^min

Head of Nasserite Popular Movement, Oussama Saad, announced on Thursday that he managed to foil Sheikh Ahmad Assir’s sit-in in collaboration with the “loyal forces”, including Hezbollah and Amal Movement.

Saad described Assir's sit-in as a “complete and utter failure”, adding that it yielded only loss.

“Extremist views bring forth only failure”, he said.

Saad went on to salute “all those who stood firmly against the nightmare [Assir]”.

Saad stressed that “the party that supported the sit-in is backward thinking and pro-Zionists”.

“Assir and his partisans had a political cover by the Future Movement and March 14”, he confirmed.

In his concluding remarks, Saad said that the movement has dealt with the sit-in with “consciousness and awareness”.

Assir has defied repeated calls to end his sit-in which has allegedly affected the merchants’ livelihoods and caused congested traffic in the town.

Accordingly, many futile counter-protests were staged to pressure Assir into suspending his sit-it.

Assir began his protest against Hezbollah’s “extra-state" arms on June 28 and has repeatedly stressed that he won’t end the sit-in until his demands are met.
