Nearly 7,000 demonstrators gathered at Martyrs' Square in Lebanon to protest the government's handling of a devastating explosion in the city

The protests were the biggest since October when thousands of people took to the streets in protest against the ruling elite’s corruption, bad governance and mismanagement.

Tuesday’s blast was the biggest in Beirut’s history. Twenty-one people were still reported as missing from the explosion, which destroyed a large swathe of the city. For many, it was a dreadful reminder of the 1975-1990 civil war that tore the nation apart and destroyed swathes of Beirut, much of which had since been rebuilt.

“We have no trust in our government,” said university student Celine Dibo as she scrubbed blood off the walls of her shattered apartment building. “I wish the United Nations would take over Lebanon.” Macron, who visited Beirut on Thursday, promised aid to rebuild the city would not fall into “corrupt hands”. He will host a donor conference for Lebanon via video link on Sunday, his office said. U.S. President Donald Trump said that he will join.

“There is really nothing we can do. We can’t afford to rebuild and no one is helping us,” he said, standing beside a large teddy bear that was blown across his home, and a damaged photograph of him and his wife.

oh my... these 7 thousand protesters in Lebanon making more debris after the explosion. someone did getting advantages on this and leading the public to the wrong direction. they should shoves debris and cleaning the street.

izrail and france, bea are responsible for boming lebanon

Nobody understands the root cause of the issue yet and who is to blame but the riots have already started

Gut feeling the the people that should hang for this are going to make obscene profits from the rebuilding. Let the corruption continue...

The army protects the governments instead of the people😭

Es ist immer wieder erschreckend, das die Polizei ihren Kopf für unfähige und korrupte Politiker hinhalten muss. Sofern natürlich sie nicht selbst, wie in vielen Staaten dieser Welt, ein Teil des korrupten Systems, sondern eben nur Polizisten sind.

We need ImranKhanPTI to talk about which religion doing attrocities here?

I don’t believe that little bit of people died. ONLY 150‼️😒

Go take food and supplies to the people that were hurt....what a bunch of losers...

When shit get's so bad you ask France to recolonize 2020isfun Lebanon Werefucked

The explosion was the last straw. They are revolting against their corrupt government of thieves!

The cause of the blast does not matter. The storage of explosive materials in an urban area, matters. The Iranians did this.

2020 is not to be effed with.

2020 be like
