Sunday Protests
In Baabda, followers of the “Free Patriotic Movement”, President Michel Aoun’s party, gather in front of the presidential residence to counter the ongoing protests. In an emotional public statement, the President yet again refuses any concessions. As a result, large demonstrations return to the streets of Beirut, Saida and Tripoli. Protests even take hold of more southern parts of Lebanon sporadically, but face much more severe counter strikes by Hezbollah and Harakat Amal.
