Beirut Explosion Port Headquarters Restraint Clash with Government Dissatisfaction Eruption August 11 11:04
The Lebanese authorities said they had detained the chief of the port where the explosion took place on Thursday, following a massive explosion in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. On the other hand, there is increasing public dissatisfaction with the fact that the participants of the protest demonstrating dissatisfaction with the government collided with security forces and the government could not prevent the explosion.
The government has urgently urged the person in charge after the explosion that took place on the 4th at the port in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, because of the sloppy management of the chemical substance "ammonium nitrate", which is also a raw material for explosives.
Meanwhile, local authorities announced on June 6 that they had detained 16 port managers and 16 customs officials for investigation.
The detailed cause of the explosion is unknown, but local media reports that welding work was being done around the warehouse where the ammonium nitrate was stored at the time, which may have ignited and exploded. ..
On the other hand, in the center of Beirut on the 6th, while the protesters lit a road and threw stones on the road, security forces fired tears and began to suppress the situation, and the scene was temporarily disturbed.
Further turmoil is feared among the citizens, as they are increasingly dissatisfied with the government regarding the long-term storage of dangerous chemicals at the port and the lack of support for the affected people. ..
