In Lebanon, as many as 2 million people rallied in Beirut on Sunday in an effort to topple the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora. The Hezbollah-led protest was described as the largest demonstration in Lebanese history. Some estimates said half of the country of 4 million people attended the protest.
Hassan Mubarak, Lebanese demonstrator: “I am not with any political solution coming from outside Lebanon because that will reduce our demands and our rights here to break down this government, because we just need to break down this government and change the prime minister, Fouad Siniora, because he is a loser.”
For the past 11 days, Hezbollah has organized daily demonstrations in an effort to bring down Siniora’s government.
