Voices from the Square, Part 31 with Elia Haber for The Beirut Banyan, bringing conversations directly from Martyrs Square.
Elia speaks to Gilles Samaha - 41-year old architect.
Gilles shares his perspectives on the protest so far, and placing the current revolt in its historic context. He reflects on the demonstrators' potential to 'construct for the future' on an individual, communal and leadership level. He also talks about 'leaderless protests' and the natural progression of leadership over time.
