Why Hezbollah Is Entering Into The Business Of Supermarkets?

The Lebanese based Hezbollah Party is again making great use of its opportunity to exploit its public in a time of crises

Before anyone can get down to protesting, it’s a laughable thought for me that a terrorist organization like Hezbollah should be indulging itself into supermarket business.

There is news doing rounds that indeed Hezbollah is trying to create a parallel economy across the south of Lebanon. One of the worst political parties and responsible for creating situations of mass murder and unrest in Lebanon, they have been repeatedly financed by Iran to carry out their terrorist activities.

Can one really imagine such people to be into the business of building supermarkets? But the irony of the matter is that they are building supermarkets in Lebanon.  It is probably the right time for them to take advantage of a collapsing economy that cannot keep up on its own feet anymore.

The few supermarkets are closing due to lack of supplies, banks have no hard currency to hand out, petrol pumps are holding a deserted look, even the country’s army isn’t being fed properly.

Literally the country’s pillars are on the verge of collapse, and for Hezbollah, this becomes the appropriate time to show that it cares. While, in truth, it might not be caring at all.

As usual, the selfish government that is made up of Hezbollah and elite representation is going to be benefit from this public mayhem. Indeed, it is not only Hezbollah that sees opportunity in the crisis. In fact, the scale of the crisis has actually provided political parties with a bit of breathing room from their perspective – far larger threat of street protests and international pressure to curb their privileges.

Streets protests that started before the pandemic continue to trickle on the roads protesting a new solid government of the people. While two governments were toppled over public outcry, the protagonists that have run a puppet government are moving ahead with their agenda.
