Lebanon’s government was teetering Monday as two ministers’ resignations over the deadly Beirut port explosion threatened to snowball and protesters’ fury on the scarred streets showed no sign of abating.
According to the health ministry, at least 158 people were killed in Lebanon’s worst peacetime disaster, 6,000 were wounded and around 20 remained missing. At least nine lawmakers have also announced they would step down in protest, as have two senior members of the Beirut municipality. During a second evening of protests on Sunday, the rage sparked by the explosion that disfigured Beirut and scarred so many of its residents had not relented, and violent street clashes flared again.
French President Emmanuel Macron supported the idea when he visited last Thursday, but his calls for reform and transparency appeared to receive less attention among Lebanese officialdom than his offer to raise aid money.
