Introduction

To overview the “Waad” project (Waad is Arabic for “Promise”) for reconstruction of the Southern Suburb, which is one of the three projects Jihad Reconstruction Association held after the Israeli Aggression of 2006, a brief introduction of the circumstances that imposed this project is needed. The Reconstruction project was not but a reaction to the planned destruction of Lebanon from The July Aggression of 2006, that Maadani claimed was the labour of a New Middle East.
It is the essence of life that remains dominant in the soul of the righteous people. It is the vigorous spirit of our right of life, of development, of progression. We rise from the ashes of ruin to rebuild. We are resurrected from the core of martyrdom to fight. We leap from the grasps of death to live. Whether the foe apprehends or not, it is his dilemma, for he well knows that his wars, bombings, and crimes will all vanquish at the feet of the Resistance. We are the people who rise from the ashes to live in the soul, body, and nation.

On the 14th of August 2006, Lebanon filled its lungs with the fresh breath of dear victory, scented with the aroma of martyrdom. The foe shan’t accomplish its goals; our victory was adorned with the Jihad and sacrifices of the noble resisters and loyal Lebanese, the martyrdom sloshed with the blood of more than 1200 martyrs of resisters, men, women, and children civilians, the agony of thousands of injured, and the bitterness of thousands of families that lost sanctuary and home.

Yes, Lebanon was overwhelmed with suffering, yet its people, as their perseverance, rose from the ashes, and challenged all predicaments by returning to their homes. They need not wait the obstacles to be removed from the roads; they drove behind each other in a long queue, taking paths and roads they memorized by heart, and drove around the fields of death the enemy left behind in hope of harvesting more lives before the flowers of return bloom.

The hasty return of the people who migrated from the South, Bekaa’, Beirut, and the South Suburban broke the last wave of aggression. The act of a spontaneous popular resistance and a clear and obvious reaction to the planned and deliberate destruction the enemy resorted to aimed at breaking the sacred bond between the Resistance and its people.

This return was also a leap of faith in the Resistance’s righteousness and cause, despite the absence of any vision or clear plan from the Lebanese government at the time to firstly remove the ruin and secondly reconstruct.
