Does this decision remind you of any previous one? I really want to see how our new minister is gonna implement this law. Imagine cops running after little kids playing with firecrackers in every little town in Beirut to celebrate Ramadan. That’s gonna be fun.

I don’t think anyone would give a shit if its illegal now, since when do people follow rules in Lebanon anyways
its about time though. I hope they do crack down on people! Even kids! Laws are laws.

Are you going to tell me that the wedding venues can’t blow shit up anymore? Yeah right…i can;t confirm because i just left Lebanon a couple of weeks ago, for good. but my neighboor, Le Ciel has been an ongoing annoyance for years with its ridiculously loud fireworks, driving the whole of Zouk Mosbeh/Dbayeh mad, and no one could do a thing about it…I recall Ziad Baroud replying to me one day at 1:30 AM, “i will try my best”… that was 18 month before he resigned.
