We discuss all that is Minteshreen, reflections on two years past the October 17 uprising and comparisons with earlier protest movements.
Our conversation includes last week's tragic events in Tayyouneh, differences between current clashes and the civil war years and disagreements on the use of the word 'militia' to describe local parties aside from Hezbollah.
We also talk about Minteshreen's internal structure and the important role of the diaspora in next year's parliamentary elections.
Hussein El Achi is the secretary general of Minteshreen.
