Major and important roads have once again been blocked by the Lebanese. With the help of burnt car tires, trash cans and debris, the cars are prevented from moving. And the protesters are now scanning: The revolution is back!

In central Beirut, the military has tried to disperse the masses by resorting to violence, according to videos shared on social media.

"We can't take it anymore"

The protests in Lebanon have been going on for almost three months. After decreasing somewhat during the Christmas holidays, they have now gained new power.

- We have gone back to turning off the roads because we can no longer take it. What we earn today is not enough to even buy the most basic, says Laila Youssed, who participates in the protests to AFP.

Deep economic crisis

Lebanon is in its worst economic crisis in decades, writes Al Jazeera.

Many have lost their jobs or halved their wages. Banks have introduced limits on how much money can be withdrawn per week and the currency has more than halved in relation to the US dollar, which is also used as currency in the country, AFP writes.

"I want to know why the politicians still remain in their posts," Elie Zhgaib told the AP.

No government yet

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri and his government resigned 13 days after the protests erupted. And there were many tours of old names that flourished before finally appointing a new prime minister on December 19.

The task of forming a new government fell on former Education Minister Hassan Diab.

But so far nothing has happened.

The protesters demand a government based on expertise, a so-called technocracy. They want to break with the current sectarian political system on which the country's constitution is based. Lebanon's power-sharing system requires the President to be a Christian Maronite, the Prime Minister of Sunnis, and the Speaker of Parliament, the Shia.

Aoun: "Takes time"

A government would have been in place already last week, but in a televised speech on Tuesday, President Michel Aoun said the formation was not possible because of "obstacles".

- The formation of this government requires the appointment of competent individuals who deserve the trust of the people and parliament, which takes time, says Michel Aoun.
