Collective Action
Protest in Beirut against corruption and the deteriorating socio-economic situation and to demand a transitional government
The rain did not stop protesters of the Lebanese Revolution from gathering in Beirut to protest the current regime, corruption, the dire social-economic conditions, and to demand a transitional government.
The streets of Central Beirut, from Riad El-Solh to the Martyrs Square, were fresh with revived (and revised) revolutionary slogans of the “thawra” that was born on October 17, 2019.
