Roads blocked as Lebanon protesters battle on 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseDemonstrators in Lebanon tried to block key roads Monday after a weekend of mass rallies confirmed that political promises had failed to extinguish the unprecedented protest movement. In a now almost daily game of cat-and-mouse with riot police, increasingly organized protesters erected temporary roadblocks using dumpsters and parked vehicles. Unprecedented cross-sectarian demonstrations have gripped Lebanon since October 17, demanding a complete overhaul of a political system deemed inefficient and corrupt. Protesters have however vowed to keep up the street movement until all their demands are met, including the formation of a technocratic government.
