'Berlin has become Shiyyah', Berri loyalists chant in Germany
Supporters of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and the Amal Movement on Sunday turned out heavily in Lebanon’s expat parliamentary elections in Germany.
“O Nabih be at ease, Berlin has become Shiyyah,” Berri supporters are seen chanting in videos and on live television, referring to the Beirut southern suburb of Shiyyah, which is a stronghold of Berri and his Amal Movement.
The Amal Movement also enjoys a strong presence in Germany, especially in the capital Berlin.

So what are they doing in Germany, if Berri and his cronies seem to be doing such a great job back in Lebanon?

OMG, this is like football supporters that support their team no matter how bad they play. And thats fine, except that this is politics, not football. The rulers of Lebanon has greatly under-performed (to say the least) over the last decades. Enen their supporters are feeling the strong negative impacts. Its time to let the main players rest (or retire) and introduce the substitutes.
