Around 1000 Lebanese demonstrated in front the Grand Serail in Beirut against corruption and the current garbage situation. I grouped some of the pictures and shared them here. Meanwhile, the government stated yesterday that garbage collection will resume on Saturday night after a temporary solution was reached to replace Naameh with other landfills whose location was not specified. I think we will soon find out where new locations are once locals start blocking roads like Naameh residents did.
Of course “temporary” is the solution to almost every crisis in Lebanon and it won’t take long before the temporary becomes final just like what happened with Naameh. Moreover, the government is still not considering recycling which is quite pathetic to say the least but again that’s not an excuse for municipalities and Lebanese not to start recycling and reduce waste.
