A Twitter Roundup Of Lebanon’s #YouStink Anti-Government Protests
The Lebanese are out protesting as trash hasn't been picked up (thanks to waste mismanagement by the Lebanese government), but it's actually more than wanting clean streets and clean air.
The Lebanese are out protesting as trash hasn’t been picked up (thanks to waste mismanagement by the Lebanese government), but it’s actually more than wanting clean streets and clean air. They want a clean government, free of corruption and short-sighted policies. Here are some photos and Tweets from Beirut.
