Noteworthy that @EmmanuelMacron states he is coming to meet “the Lebanese people”. Hopefully it means he will not meet top govt officials. If he does, it shud be to remonstrate them about criminal negligence that allowed this to happen. Everyone is guilty, going back years. https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/1290987025391329281">https://twitter.com/EmmanuelM...
The Lebanese authorities should not be allowed to use this disaster to press the int’l community for aid that will throw a lifeline to the ruling elite that have been destroying and killing us on a daily basis, at various levels and various ways.
The international community should help the Lebanese people, help them rebuild, find shelter, food, etc through private initiatives, NGO’s, loans etc. No aid should go thru the government without firm conditions for immediate reforms.
