LEBANON-POLITICS-PROTESTS

Lebanese expats board a bus upon their arrival at the Beirut International Airport in the Lebanese capital on November 22, 2019, ahead of joining demonstrators in downtown Beirut more than a month into protests demanding an overhaul of the entire political system. - Lebanon marked 76 years of self-rule, with nationwide festivities by protesters taking centre stage in place of the traditional military parade to mark a first year of "real independence". An unprecedented protest movement has gripped the small Mediterranean country since October 17, demanding the complete overhaul of politicians deemed inept and corrupt.
