UK Embassy in Lebanon: Necessary Reforms Should Be Implemented Urgently
The British Embassy in Lebanon issued a statement over the anti-government mass protests that entered their second week on Thursday.
The embassy issued the statement on Twitter and said:
A week after these protests started, the Lebanese people have expressed legitimate frustrations, which must be heard. This is an important moment for Lebanon: the necessary reforms should be implemented urgently.
The UK will continue to support a secure, stable, sovereign and prosperous Lebanon, including a stronger and fairer economy, quality education for all, improved services, and enhanced security.

(This message from the English Embassy was originally much longer, but naharnet.com, ever mindful of your security concerns, removed 145 clauses in the general form of "clearly", "it goes without saying", "albeit heretofore notwithstanding", and the like. However, since the message did not mention expanding democracy by removing sectarianism, such contents could not be removed for your safety. If such contents had been found, they would have been removed for your safety.)
