Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah assured on the eve of Ashura that despite all the efforts tyrants made throughout history to erase the trace of Imam Hussein (as), his memory remains and as Sayyeda Zeinab said “by Allah, you won’t erase our memory” we see today massive rallies around the world still mourning him.

Sayyed Nasrallah spoke about some of the great lessons that Karbala teaches us, stating:

• Karbala is a lesson for us in not submitting and in baring responsibility.

Finally, as each year on this eve, Sayyed Nasrallah pledged loyalty to “Imam Hussein, and who embodies Imam Hussein today, and the cause of Imam Hussein,” asserting “we will stay firm in the face of wars of all kind, whether economic, political, media or other… and just as the slogan did not fall from the hands of Al-Abbas, it will not fall today and we will not leave you o Hussein.”
