Series of Demos in Beirut ahead of Cabinet Session
A series of protests were held in Riad al-Solh in Beirut ahead of a Cabinet session held at the Grand Serail.
Civil Aviation applicants who have passed the entrance exams and are waiting for their employment have protested the delay in hiring them.
Volunteers of the Civil Defense also protested their unemployment after an earlier Cabinet decree that pledged their full-time employment.
Also, demonstrators gathered against the construction of the Bisri Valley dam, which environmentalists say will destroy rich biodiversity.
The Cabinet has met at the Grand Serail to tackle 26 items on its agenda, amid tense economic conditions.
