Maybe supporting Herzollah is not good idea eh Lebanon govt

Beirut, Lebanon - On the top floor of an abandoned theatre in downtown Beirut, Tarek Jaber was admiring his handiwork.

The 25-year-old had just spray painted a slogan - "Look to the future" - in large black letters on one of the building's battered walls.

"We are reclaiming our city and reclaiming our country," he told Al Jazeera.

Now getting good on international news wires

Ministers resign after third day of protests in Lebanon

Lebanese Christian party has announced it is quitting the government after a third day of protests across the country against tax increases and alleged official corruption.

After tens of thousands took to the streets on Saturday, four ministers from the Lebanese Forces party, a traditional ally of Prime Minister Saad Hariri, resigned from his cabinet.

"We are convinced that the government is unable to take the necessary steps to save the situation", said Samir Geagea, head of the party.

Ang: I thought I had an account under "Ang" (I think since 2015) but then when this forum switched to ProBoards I lost access. :( Been awhile. So finally made a new account. What happened? However, maybe it was another Christian forum that I lost the url to. Jun 24, 2023 10:20:10 GMT -5 *
