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.
