Description
October 2019: The largest protests in Lebanon in 14 years are set to shut down the country for a fifth day on Monday, as a revolt against a weak government, ailing services and a looming economic collapse continues to gain momentum.
Demonstrators took to the streets of most urban centres to rail against officials who are preventing badly needed reforms that would cut into the pockets of the ruling class, and are instead trying to recoup state revenues by taxing the poor. the protests have settled into large peaceful gatherings that have crossed sectarian and social lines and continued to grow in size and energy as Lebanese leaders struggled to formulate a response.
From "The Guardian", by Martin Chulov, Beirut, 20 Oct 2019.

A strong and remarkable painting, Christel. I'm so aware of all of the world's turbulence and trouble and can only pray for it to end. Without violence. Hugs.
