Lebanon Protesters Lob Traffic Signs, Branches At Police
January 18, 2020
Tensions flared in Lebanon’s capital Saturday as angry protesters flung stones, traffic signs and tree branches at security forces, who responded with water canons and tear gas.
The protest movement rocking Lebanon since October 17 has revived this week, over delays in forming a new cabinet to address the country’s growing economic crisis.
No progress appears to have been made towards a final lineup, which protesters demand be comprised of independent experts and exclude all traditional political parties.
