Lebanese Promise Party protest calls for Syrians to leave Lebanon
The Lebanese Promise Party held a protest in Mazraat Yeshou, on October 14, calling for the Lebanese government to send Syrian nationals back to their country. Around 100 protestors gathered wearing identical t-shirts emblazoned with the party’s logo and holding flags and signs that read, “So that we don’t lose Lebanon, negotiate with the Syrian government," referring to current debates between political parties on whether to coordinate with the Syrian regime on the return of refugees.
