Protesters in Lebanon say they will remain in the streets
Anti-government protesters chant slogans against the Lebanese government as they block a road leading to the Presidential Palace in Baabda, east of Beirut
LEBANESE protesters obstructed major highways with burning tyres and roadblocks today, saying they will remain in the streets despite President Michel Aoun’s appeal for them to go home.
A man was killed by a soldier during demonstrations on Tuesday night, marking the first such fatality since nationwide unrest engulfed Lebanon on October 17.
Protesters took to the streets after Mr Aoun said in a televised interview that there could be further delays before a new government is formed.
