Beirut, Lebanon Lebanese security forces have fired several rounds of tear gas at anti-government protesters who are on the streets of central Beirut demanding accountability after Tuesday's blast which ripped through the city.
Thousands of demonstrators poured into Beirut's Martyr's Square calling for"revenge" against the ruling class of politicians widely held responsible for the explosion that lay waste to large swathes of Lebanon's capital. The demonstrators erected mock gallows in what were dubbed"Judgment Day" protests, as grief gave way to anger after more than 154 people were killed and dozens more remain missing. Over 5,000 people have been injured.
this last crisis, the explosion, comes after horrific living conditions and inflation off the charts. a miracle anyone alive only to die in the carnage. our world is collapsing. this is a sign of things to come internationally.
Lebanon LebanonExplosion Stop the lies. Every protestor there knows:

Good for them. I have a special place in my heart for Beirut and the Lebanese. Hard-working people, bright, imaginative. I had the great fortune to have worked there years ago before the civil war. God bless them.
