For the tenth day .. Demonstrations in Lebanon continue and protesters block roads

The protest movement in Lebanon continues for the tenth day in a row to demand the resignation of the government and hold the political class accountable for the economic situation reached by the country.

On Saturday morning, protesters blocked roads in a number of Lebanese areas, especially the main roads from Beirut to the northern and southern governorates and some areas of Mount Lebanon.

Mazen Ibrahim, the head of Al-Jazeera's Beirut office, said the demonstrators were trying to keep up the momentum in order to force the ruling political class to reach solutions that would satisfy the angry street and at the top of their demands for the resignation of the government.

Ibrahim said that the movement seems to be dormant in the early hours of the morning and gain momentum at noon and in the evening as they cut off the roads to chop up the cities.

The reporter pointed out that there is a state of political intractability, pointing out that Prime Minister Saad Hariri has offered to resign to President Michel Aoun on condition that a government is formed of non-partisans, ie technocrats.

Sat squares
In the meantime, the civil campaign called "My right", to participate in demonstrations "Sabt al-squares" in all Lebanese territory.

In a statement, she said our presence in the streets for more than a week and after the Authority continues its maneuvers and deny our demands, which are repeated in all areas of Lebanon, it is time to force the Authority to respond and escalate the pressure of the street.

He continued the campaign statement to announce tomorrow on Saturday squares and call for huge demonstrations in all areas under the title of the squares. Let us pretend to reject the lies of the Palestinian Authority and its permanent attempts to circumvent our popular uprising to overthrow the government of the ruling regime.

Universities, schools and banks remained closed for the tenth consecutive day of nationwide protests sparked by new taxes proposed by the Lebanese government.

Yesterday, clashes took place in Beirut between the protesters and a group loyal to Hezbollah against the backdrop of slogans against the corruption of the ruling political class, after which the anti-riot forces intervened to disengage. This also coincided with the sit-in of supporters of the Free Patriotic Movement in some areas in support of the positions of the President of the Republic.
