Key road in Lebanon capital reopens after clashes between anti-government protesters and Hezbollah and Amal supporters
Riot police remove anti-government protesters blocking a road in Beirut, Lebanon. November 25, 2019.
Lebanon’s massive protests against corruption and mismanagement by the country’s leaders are now in their second month but have so far remained largely peaceful. Both sides then threw stones at each other for hours as security forces formed a barrier to keep them apart. The clashes lasted until early Monday morning.
The Ring Road was notorious during Lebanon’s 1975-90 civil war as one of the most dangerous front lines and, at the same time, a main crossing point during days of fragile cease-fires in the capital between the mostly Muslim west and the predominantly Christian east. Hezbollah and Amal are insisting that Hariri heads the next government and that it be made of politicians and technocrats.
