One of the Lebanese demonstrators today, Saturday, burnt himself during a demonstration in the center of the capital Beirut, before the participants intervened to put out the fire that broke out in his legs, according to what the Lebanese Red Cross reported.
The protest movements in Lebanon have regained their strong momentum after a decline in participation and a decline in the number of protesters' gatherings during the past days, unlike the first weeks of the outbreak of demonstrations.
The demonstrators gathered since the morning in the main squares and squares, with the approach of binding parliamentary consultations approaching to assign a new prime minister to form a government, which is scheduled to take place on Monday.
While the demands raised by the demonstrators and protesters were divided between the demands of most of them political and living and economic, the main common demand in the demonstration arenas and streets was the formation of a mini-rescue government from independent professionals in isolation from quotas and traditional sectarian sharing.
The demonstrators stressed the continuation of their uprising and staying in the streets and squares until their demands are fulfilled regarding the formation of the next government, accountability for the perpetrators of corruption crimes and infringement of public money, the recovery of looted funds, the independence of the judiciary and its exclusion from political interference.
The Convoy of the Revolution
In a related context, the demonstrators organized various protest activities in a number of cities, including the "caravan of the revolution", which included buses and cars that were launched this morning from the city of Tire in southern Lebanon, to roam all the main squares and squares of the demonstration, all the way to the center of Akkar Governorate.
The idea of the revolution caravan, which enjoyed the participation and great interaction of the demonstrators, came as a "salute" to the revolution bus organized by the demonstrators on November 16th, which was buses and cars carrying the demonstrators that departed from Akkar governorate to the city of Sidon, known as the "The capital of southern Lebanon."
Lebanon has been witnessing since the evening of last October 17, a series of popular demonstrations and protests throughout the country, in protest against the severe decline in the standard of living and financial and economic conditions, and the severe deterioration that affected the services provided by the state, especially in the sectors of electricity, water, waste and health care And social security.
