We're with Dalal Mawad for Episode 210 of The Beirut Banyan.

We discuss recent US sanctions against Lebanese politicians and the wider domestic and regional obstacles to reforming the state. We also talk about the protest movement's lack of organization and structure and potential stepping stones to eventual progress.

The conversation includes Dalal's career in journalism and how purpose guides our commitment to Lebanon.

Dalal Mawad is a Senior Producer and Correspondent for The Associated Press.
