1/ LBCI aired a report today that discusses news about protestors going back to the streets in #Lebanon on the 6th of June - #Lebanonprotests groups denied being involved. I quote "Seems the organizers are groups from different areas & politically motivated"

2/ The report concludes that the groups preparing for the 6th of June protest are politically motivated by Ashraf Riffi and Hariri family - the demands will focus on early elections in #Lebanon.

3/ The report also associates the upcoming 6th of June protest with protests (Tweet below) that have been taking place in the past few days in front of Ex/Current ministers & politicians in #Lebanon including todays' protest.

4/ Seems that different political groups are headed back to the streets soon.

It will be important to differentiate through the demands - Early elections is not a smart demand to focus on because right now the #lebanonprotests are still regrouping and organizing. #Lebanon

5/ With the current context - a lot of lobbying and advocacy are to be done on the ground before demanding early elections.

To demand that, the #lebanonprotests will need to ensure that each entity has representatives that can lead political battles. #Lebanon

6/ Which really raises one question:

Who are the groups protesting on June 6th demanding early elections?

Will #Lebanonprotests groups participate?

What about @BeirutMadinati
& @Li_Haqqi?

DM if you have leads 😊
