LBC television reported on Sunday that hundreds of angry residents in south Lebanon protested against power cuts in the region, causing bumper-to-bumper traffic at the Zahrani crossroads. They used tires and huge barricades.

Earlier today also residents of the southern Lebanese village of Nabatiyeh Fawqa demonstrated in front of the town’s water utility headquarters to demand a solution to their water shortage.

  1. Yep, burning tires is going to solve the problem. Get rid of your current politicians, h/a, pay your monthly dues just like others, elect new conscientious politicians, invest in power and water utilities and not arms, missiles ..otherwise do not expect it to be free. Do not be misguided, the truth is that protesters are as culpable as the elected politician, because we have seen the same faces on and on for ages and they keep electing them. Once bought (like in every election)your elected politician owns you forever.Time to change!!!!!!!

    little do they know that they are making their problems worse, how do they think burnt tires are put out? hmmm…tough one…with water! 3amleen mitl halee ba3 siyarto mishan yishtiree banzeen.

  3. The more I think about this the angrier I get. Why do we send wahab, berri, jumblatt, a/j, aoun, arslan, assad, hassoon or the turkish DM to the south. I will assure they will quell the protest and be recived with showers of rice, roses and the issue with water and electricity becomes an issue of the past. Not to long ago, h/a, syria, iran and turkey announced the flow of arms to h/a and hamas. If they really want to be productive why don’t they spend that money on a large power generator or water purification system. Our friend the arabs are expert on desalination of seawater, why do not invest in a plant to serve the community. NOT, because no one will pay for their consumption and will rely on free water, electricity, free gasoline from the government institutions (BONNET). Yet we have every toy that exists except the basics and essentials. Why would you need a cell phone that cost you more than you earn a month, how did you pay for the BMW,MBZ, Range Rover…SUV’s that you are driving, while your monthly income is less than $500. If you can afford that luxury, you can afford to pay for your water and electrical consumption. I only have mercy for the poor who are in need for basic services and no matter what they do they will be exploited to stay poor.Lebanon has to change its way of living, be practical, responsible of your own fate, kick your politicians out, get a new team and if thy fail, do not re-elect them again. Lebanon is the land of democracy, however, as I see it today it is the land of irony, instability, chaos, false establishment and representation. It is a mockery, unless things change we will not be able to preserve our place in the civilized and free world. No need to be begging for arms from the US, France and other western countries, If we can be trusted. Arms in the hand of Lebanese today will lead only to the disintegration of the Lebanese institution and I can guarantee you that this is the aim of israel, iran and syria.
