Lebanon crippled as crisis continues

Protesters yesterday trickled back on to the streets across Lebanon, despite army efforts to unblock roadsand end a crisis that has crippled the country for 10 days.

Army and security commanders met to plan ways to re-open main arteries to get traffic flowing again while “safeguarding the safety of protesters”. People have closed routes with barriers and sit-ins as part of a wave of protests demanding the government resign.
