    🇱🇧 My take on the wide, ongoing Lebanese protest movements: improbable reforms, impossible revolution “Loin d’être des amateurs ou des imbéciles, les dirigeants libanais ont su faire preuve au fil des ans d’une véritable ingéniosité dans la malfaisance.”🇱🇧

    Per usual understands how to read the dire situation. Unlike Hariri and Bassil who blamed everyone else and barely empathized with people, HN uses discourse of collective official accountability, social justice and rejection of regressive tax that is default policy

    Bassil and Hariri gave speeches last night while everyone was fired up in the streets and before they got forcefully cleared. Nasrallah joins us Saturday morning for sobhiya / coffee. Timing is everything.

    Windows open this morning and people in my neighbourhood have their TVs on nearly full blast - Nasrallah’s voice currently ringing through the streets.

    “If we take to the streets we would not leave before our demands are addressed,” Nasrallah said. In earlier statement, however, he said that Hezbollah “does not need” now to take to the streets “because we are discussing in the government.”

    Nasrallah raises prospect of Hezbollah officially joining the protests: "If we take that decision to take to the streets, the country will take a different direction. "We are a big party and our movement is not insignificant. "Hopefully this doesn't happen."

    "Should we change a few names and ministers? Won't matter. It's still going to be the same political forces. "Those who call for a government of technocrats are the first that will screw up a gov't of technocrats. This is empty talk!"

    leader says in televised speech to mark Arbaeen: We don’t support the resignation of the current government amid protests.

    Nasrallah: We are frustrated with some of the banks, but there is no truth to what's been said that Hezbollah carry out actions against them.

    Lebanese Interior Minister appeals for calm as protests end violently in Beirut. It would be good if the army treated journalists - and protestors - calmly too. A soldier pointed his gun at me and the unnarmed protestors behind me. 1/2

    This "Every (male in Iraq) has been fawning over the female participation in Lebanon's protests. So how come when my friends and I protested dressed modestly in all black thinking we'd die any minute, how come we were called every bad name in the book?" asks an Iraqi woman.

    Only 20% of Lebanon's shore is publicly accessible. The rest's been privatized w/ access prohibitively expensive. Sour Rest House stormed cause it infringes on public maritime property, so many of these actions are targeted + rising from deep-seated injustices.
