We're back with Walid Sinno for Episode 184 of The Beirut Banyan.

We discuss the recent public resignations and reactions; the need for post-civil war reconciliation and establishing a real 'peace'; identifying the root causes for the current economic crisis; financial dependency from the diaspora; and building a lasting social pact.

Walid is an oil and gas engineer.
