Conflict Incident Report

Lebanese bus drivers Saturday held a protest against the influx of foreigners they accuse of taking their jobs on a main highway connecting Beirut to Jounieh, a city north of the capital.
Bus drivers have been parking their vehicles on the side of the highway since November to protest the rise of competition in the industry.
The Traffic Management Center said on Twitter that a large number of buses parked on the eastern side of Nahr al-Kalb highway where the drivers held a protest, causing bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Police deployed in the area to prevent any violence, Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) reported, as traffic began piling up.
Earlier protests have largely been met with inaction on the part of the government, prompting the drivers to stage even more and larger protests.
