In a speech given by Hizbullah Executive Council President Sayyed Hashem Safieddine, he stressed on seeing the campaign "Order is of Faith" through to its completion in the southern suburbs of Beirut, considering the implemented steps so far are but the initial phase of that campaign. At the same time he praised the positive citizens' response to the campaign.

He also stressed the need to work on ensuring the active presence of the State in the Dahyia because this State is our State, and this area which pays its due and taxes should receive the State's necessary attention.

He emphasized saying: "We are doing our duty for the southern Dahyia suburbs-the great title of the homeland and the nation- the capital of resistance. This Dahyia which was the focus of all eyes during the July 2006 War, decided the fate of the Middle East, it is the one that stood fast in the face of a brutal aggression on Lebanon, thus becoming the title of pride and dignity."

"Having healed its wounds, it returns to its normal day to day to day life. This indicates and reveals the strength of the individual person living in the Dahyia; they have the strength to live a free and dignified life while carrying the values of nationalism and faith."
He added: "We must be aware of the greatness of strength expressed by the Dahyia; we must know how to treat it in order to build a better life."

Sayyed Hashem Safieddine saw that "Serving the people and organizing their affairs is of the noblest of deeds, the slogan of "Order is of Faith" is both spiritual and an axiom.  What brings us together is taking responsibility not theorizing."

Safieddine stressed that "The campaign needs patience and conviction even if it takes years; we must preserve law and order where the law is above all without exception, not only to target the poor and the vulnerable."
He also called for taking into account the human conditions and circumstances of the poor and the oppressed in implementing the law, to endeavor to solve the issues and problems of this disadvantaged in society parallel with the campaign's application.

He drew attention to the public campaign's great success in creating a positive shock in society, in making the people prepared to accept decisions made for extending law and order.

His Eminence called on municipal councils to exert all their capabilities, hoping to see their solidarity and support to deal with things where we all must bow to public interest in order to create better living for all. This is what we must seek.

He also called on municipalities to "Work in collaboration with civil society, popular, community and neighborhood committees seeing the Dahyia district's stretch and overpopulation."
Sayyed Safieddine concluded his speech asserting that "What we got to and where we are qualifies us to hold an advanced cultural position.  We can offer the Dahyia what it deserves, as do its community, history and martyrs, we look forward to a bright future for this community and its children. Cultural work in this domain is vital, important and essential, the responsibility of which rest upon us all."
