Hezb can be weekend but it surviving is inevitable. Only risk is internal strife but so far most leaders have been acting right ironically due to the fact they were active during the civil war and understand the risks. Cooler heads prevail for now.

1/5 In 1967, Idris Ali boarded a plane in Khartoum carrying a piece of paper with his uncle’s handwritten Beirut address. Many hours later, he stepped into Lebanon for the first time. He was 13 years old, and seeking a job. today.lorientlejour.com/article/134370…

The IMF statement on Lebanon makes clear how far we are from implementing an IMF program here and undertaking any reforms to exit the crisis. It paints a grim picture of the alternate scenario and is a direct rebuke of obstructionist MPs. [A thread] imf.org/en/News/Articl…

I went to Akkar, Lebanon's northernmost governorate, to meet people who say they're starting to turn to an electricity source more reliable than the state: wind. With solar panels already ubiquitous in Lebanon, are rooftop wind turbines next? today.lorientlejour.com/article/132904…
