Lebanon information minister resigns over Beirut blast

“After the enormous Beirut catastrophe, I announce my resignation from government,” she said in a statement carried by local media, apologising to the Lebanese public for failing them.

Lebanese protesters enraged by the blast vowed to rally again after a night of street clashes in which they stormed several ministries. “It is not enough for a lawmaker to resign here or a minister to resign there,” Rai said in a Sunday sermon.“It is necessary, out of sensitivity to the feelings of the Lebanese and the immense responsibility required, for the entire government to resign because it is incapable of moving the country forward.”
