Several thousand protesters marched through destroyed areas of Beirut on Saturday, with rubble piled on either side. “The government didn’t help us clean up, so we did it ourselves. Now we’ve come to protest to get them out,” said activist Rawan Hijazi.
“The government didn’t help us clean up, so we did it ourselves. Now we’ve come to protest to get them out. They blew us up and didn’t even send anyone to clean it up,” said activist Rawan Hijazi.
“You literally blew us up, we have nothing left to lose,” a group of protesters screamed as they pushed towards the front line of the battle with the security forces while tear-gas canisters were fired directly at them. A message written in front of the scene of Tuesday's explosion that hit the seaport of Beirut, Lebanon., rubber bullets fired at the upper body and the army indiscriminately beating unarmed protesters and the media.
In response to a request for comment, the Lebanese army said in a statement:"While units of the army were carrying out policing operations and during the protests that took place in the Beirut area, the soldiers were pelted with stones, large fireworks, and Molotov cocktails, which resulted in 105 injuries, including 8 officers, two of whom were seriously injured."
