The Friday rallies aimed at toppling PM Fouad Siniora’s cabinet
continue in Beirut. While quenching the protest rally of adherents
of the Shia oppositional organizations 1 man was killed and 12 were
wounded.
The lasting anti-governmental rallies at the weekend were organized
by Hezbollah and Amal movements, Reuters reports. The Shias set up a
tent camp in front of the Government’s residence. Though a part of
protestors was driven away, the rally participants are inclined to
continue their demonstration until the Government resigns.
The governmental crisis in Lebanon began after the resignation of the
6 ministers representing the interests of Hezbollah and Amal as well
as Pierre Gemayel’s assassination.
