Demonstrators maintain roadblocks across Lebanon, bringing traffic to a halt amid ongoing protests
Lebanese riot police officers remove anti-government protesters as they dismantle a roadblock in the ring-bridge in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on October 31, 2019.
The fall of the government under pressure from the street had led to an easing of the lockdown that has crippled the country of 6 million inhabitants. The tug-of-war between demonstrators seeking to block roads and security forces under orders to reopen the country for business repeated itself on Thursday.
With a power-sharing system organised along communal and sectarian lines, the allocation of ministerial posts can typically take months, a delay Lebanon's donors say the debt-ridden country can ill afford. Among the possible scenarios is one which would see Hariri return at the helm of revamped line-up that includes technocrats, one of the demands of the protesters."It would have to ensure a short-term stabilisation of the economy which has spiralled out of control these past weeks, while ensuring economic reforms pass quickly otherwise mass protests will erupt once again," she said.
