Daesh's resignation raises the controversy over who supported them

Lebanon celebrates victory over Daesh: it is the first country in the region and the world to be fully liberated of the terrorist organization. Hassan Nasrallah asks who has blocked the army from battling the Isis. Allegations against former President Suleiman.

Beirut (AsiaNews) - Two days ago, at sunset, the Lebanese army witnessed the retreat of over 350 of the last ISIS fighters still in the mountainous chain of North Lebanon North East on the border with Syria. In their humiliating retreat, they refused to be filmed by the media. Daesh fighters and their families left the Lebanese territory and the far east of Syria for Abu Kamal, the westernmost part of the country, escorted by Syrian Red Cross, who together with the convoy also carried the wounded of the terrorist group.

The retreat of the terrorists took place with 17 buses - each with about 50 passengers, for a total of about 850 people - with curtains pulled to avoid prying eyes.

People greeted their departure with shots of jubilation and the joy of victory spread quickly throughout the Land of the Cedars. With pride, Lebanon has declared itself to be the first country in the region and in the world to have defeated Daesh altogether and have removed it from the national territory. Three flags were laid on the Kalamun Mountains: that of Lebanon, Syria, and the yellow flag of Hezbollah, confirming what is called "triumvirate" in Lebanese jargon.

While the convoy of Daesh's defeat was moving, Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah appeared on TV, announcing the victory and the details of the agreement with the terrorists. In exchange for Daesh's retreat, a Hezbollah fighter was freed as well as the corpses Lebanese army soldiers kidnapped in Ersal whose throats the terrorists later slit.

The pride of being the first in the world to be released by Desh was quickly upset by Nassrallah himself, who opened the door to a new controversy, announcing: "We must now reveal who had hitherto prevented the Lebanese army from fighting Daesh and expel them from the country, "or" those who in the past said that the Lebanese army could not win. " And he added: "The army could have been as it could now and will always be able to" eliminate Daesh.

"The army - he continued - could have done so soon after the appearance of Daesh in Lebanon, but some forces within the [Lebanese] government stopped the army and prevented it from doing its duty. Doing so would have been less costly in human lives. " The controversial claim echoed right away and accusations began to follow on one or the other.

In the evening, the Lebanese Parliament's former deputy speaker Elie Al Ferzuli appeared on a private television channel to indiscriminately blame the former President of the republic Michel Suleiman asking "to be condemned for supporting and sponsoring terrorism." After Daesh's defeat, public opinion now demands to know who he is behind and this is only the beginning.
