Lebanese protesters successfully form human chain across country
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] As the protests in Leb moved into their 11th day, tens of thousands of Lebanese protesters successfully formed a 171-kilometer-long human chain throughout the country from Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
in the north down to Tyre in the south.
How cute!
Cars whooshed by honking with flags waving. Others handed out water to protesters forming the chain. Videos quickly emerged on social media of people filing in all over the country to participate.

Mostly peaceful protests have taken place across the country, with protesters uniting across sectarian and class lines in a country where sectarianism is rooted in its every fiber. The Taif Agreement, put in place at the end of the civil war in 1989, installed a power sharing agreement that mandated that the president be Maronite Christian, the prime minister a Sunni Moslem and the speaker of parliament a Shia Moslem.
