  [Global Network Reporter Zhang Xiaoya] Protests broke out in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon that was traumatized by the big explosion. Many foreign media quoted the Lebanese National News Agency (NNA) as reporting that on the 6th local time, dozens of protesters angered by the bombing took to the streets and demanded the resignation of the current government. They also confronted the police, and someone was injured in the conflict.

  The British "Guardian" and Al Jazeera both quoted NNA reports that protesters gathered in downtown Beirut on the 6th and demanded that the Lebanese government step down. They set fires, destroyed shops, and threw stones at Lebanese security forces. Near the Beirut Parliament building, security forces fired tear gas to disperse dozens of protesters. Some people were still injured in the conflict.

  "The Guardian" said that earlier on the 6th, French President Emaron inspected the Beirut port and surrounding areas destroyed by the explosion. Angry people also urged Macron to help Lebanon achieve political change.

  On the evening of the 4th local time, a violent explosion occurred in the Beirut port area of ​​Lebanon, killing more than 100 people and injuring about 5,000. The specific cause of the explosion is still unclear, but several Lebanese officials mentioned that approximately 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate have been stored in warehouses in the Beirut port area since 2014. The Guardian reported on the 6th that after the explosion, almost no Lebanese leader ventured to the scene or visited the affected neighborhoods. But on the 4th, the former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s motorcade was attacked while driving through Beirut’s city centre.
