Millions of Lebanese have been protesting daily for more than a week against corruption, lack of opportunity and an archaic system that has ruled the country for more than 50 years. The protests have spilled outside the country into many cities worldwide and the intensity has not abated.
Journalist Khalil Hachem discussed the protests with activists Sara Haidar from Paris, Mohamad Mahfouz from Geneva and Zohair Abed Hak from Dearborn. Where do we go from here and would the protests result in any change to a system that was found on a sectarian formula?
The discussion centered on the reasons for the protests and how millions of Lebanese have transcended all political, social and religious boundaries to come together and demand reform. Will the masses succeed against the entrenched political elite, changing the sectarian system, or will the government bosses survive the unrest?
