[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=3) I'm from the Chouf, from Damour, and I live in the Dahieh.

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=5) Every year, I come down for Ashura. First, I come to be among my family and my people.

[0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=13) Hussein, like Christ, stood up, stood with the oppressed against the oppressor.

[0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=19) He hated lies, he hated hatred, tyranny, and occupation.

[0:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=23) I came to be among my family and my people.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=25) And we all surely remember when Hussein was martyred at Karbala.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=29) And where is the monk who took Hussein's head?

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=32) And Mia isn't at the door. We all have to stand by one another for the country, united by our Lebanese identity.

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=38) No one—and no one will—intimidate you. Dahieh and Shiites, Dahieh and Shiites.

[0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=42) Here, among my family and my people, it's an honor for me.

[0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=47) We are proud of you. You are an example of an authentic Lebanese young man.

[0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/ePhwc1ZnUUL5/en/george-from-the-chouf-joins-ashura-and-calls-for-lebanese-unity?t=51) God bless you and give you strength. Thank you.
