“Hizbullah is the result of a long historical process… Hizbullah is not a monolithic movement, but rather a coalition of Shi’ite clerics… Hizbullah is more than 25 years old. ‘The future is ours’, to quote Nasrallah, and from a demographic viewpoint, he is very likely to be right.” – Prof. Joseph Alagha, who teaches a the Lebanese American University, shares his insights on Hizbullah.
This interview with Prof. Alagha was conducted by Olivier Moos in Beirut in April 2007.
