To sum it up; the #LebanonProtests riots happening in Beirut tonight are united & powerful, seem not politicized, but if 1 protestor or group names and shames 1 political leader by name right now: rocks thrown at the riot police will be thrown at one another by the majority.
This does not mean that independent groups and protestors are absent. No, they are present since the start of tonight's riot. But they are not the majority, they are not the ones leading. That's the difference between tonight and previous nights.
This is why independent secular groups MUST take back the lead and again: highlight the basic demands from October 17th:
-All means ALL, ALL and no censorship on chants & slogans.
-The cabinet must resign
-Immediate economic solutions as a new cabinet is being formed.
-All means ALL, ALL and no censorship on chants & slogans.
-The cabinet must resign
-Immediate economic solutions as a new cabinet is being formed.
As a Lebanese; I won't endorse any protests that come with a censorship package attached: "don't mention Hezbollah, now is not the time to criticize Hariri, LF are better than FPM" ..
NO. All means All, including Hezbollah, Amal, LF, FPM.. This is why I endorsed October 17th.
