After the protesters closed it, the security forces opened the main roads in Lebanon

Al Jazeera correspondent in Beirut reported that security forces have reopened a number of main roads blocked by demonstrators during the past days of protests against the ruling political elite.

Al-Jazeera correspondent added that the security forces are working to open some roads cut by protesters this morning, especially the roads linking Beirut to the northern provinces and the Bekaa.

The move comes after statements by the army and security forces in which they stressed the respect of the right of demonstrators to express their opinion, and protection, with the need not to close roads to facilitate the movement of citizens.

In the meantime, demonstrators in Lebanon continued to take to the streets for the tenth day in a row to demand the departure of the political class, in defiance of politicians, parties and their supporters, the day after a speech by the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, which warned of "chaos" and "collapse" in the event of a power vacuum.

The streets and squares of Beirut and other areas from north to south have been crowded since October 17 with a rare, cross-sectarian movement against the backdrop of living demands and frustration with political corruption.
