بالتزامن مع التظاهرات التي تعمّ مختلف المناطق بعد انتهاء التحرّك الداعم لرئيس الجمهورية ميشال عون في بعبدا، نظّمت عدد من النساء تظاهرة على أدراج المتحف الوطني تحت شعار "القوّة للنساء".

ونادت النساء باسقاط "النظام الذكوري"، مطلقن الشعارات الوطنية مع التشديد على أنّ "ثورتنا أنثى".

كما رفعت النساء شعارات مطالبة باعطاء الأم اللبنانية الجنسية لأولادها، منّددن بـ"النظام الأبويّ القاتل".

Supporters of the Free Patriotic Movement and President Michel Aoun gathered Sunday near Baabda Palace, in a demonstration of support after weeks of anti-government protests. Thousands of supporters, holding Lebanese and FPM flags and wearing orange clothes and FPM accessories, took cars and buses across Lebanon to the gathering point at a road leading to the presidential palace.

The state-run National News Agency reported that convoys were sent from locations across the country, from Tripoli to Nabatieh.

Police arrested four protesters who had occupied the entrance of the Association of Banks in Lebanon Friday, and beat and arrested another protester outside moments later.

Using a chain and lock they had brought, three men and one woman locked themselves inside the gate at the entrance of the ABL's headquarters near Beirut's Gemmayzeh district Friday morning. They then “threw away the key.”

 After a day of quasi-normality in Lebanon, protesters returned to the streets Thursday evening, almost immediately after a televised speech delivered by President Michel Aoun, closing roads in the capital and beyond. Life across the country had taken a cautious step toward returning to its regular rhythms, with roads reopening, people going back to work, educational institutions opening their doors and banks resuming internal operations.
