Demonstration in Beirut
Bilal Tarabey / Le Pictorium
LePictorium_0217236.jpg
People gathered at Sassine Square watch the speech of Lebanese President Michel Aoun live. October 24, 2019. The Lebanese revolution has been going on for a week now. Place Sassine is one if not THE stronghold of Christians in Beirut, even identity Christians: the members of the Kataeb party (Christian Phalanges) and Ouet (Lebanese Forces). In the square stands a sculpture and a giant photo of former President Bachir Gemayel, founder and head of the Christian Phalanges and President of the Republic for three weeks in 1982 before being murdered by pro-Syrian nationalists. Martyr for some (most people in Sassine Square and many Lebanese Christians), war criminal for others - leftists, Palestinians and Muslims. All the Christians present here support the revolution. their willingness to see the creation of a secular state is, on the other hand, variable - because many people are afraid of Hezbollah. The neighborhood around Place Sassine, Achrafieh, may be bourgeois, but there is still a lot of hidden poverty, especially single women, elderly people, who survive through family solidarity mechanisms. Poverty is one of the reasons they are fed up too. There is also a statue of Saint Charbel, the patron saint of Maronite Christians, the majority community among Lebanese Christians, from which the President of the Republic is always descended.

Poverty is one of the reasons they are fed up too. There is also a statue of Saint Charbel, the patron saint of Maronite Christians, the majority community among Lebanese Christians, from which the President of the Republic is always descended.

The Lebanese revolution has been going on for a week now. Place Sassine is one if not THE stronghold of Christians in Beirut, even identity Christians: the members of the Kataeb party (Christian Phalanges) and Ouet (Lebanese Forces). In the square stands a sculpture and a giant photo of former President Bachir Gemayel, founder and head of the Christian Phalanges and President of the Republic for three weeks in 1982 before being murdered by pro-Syrian nationalists. Martyr for some (most people in Sassine Square and many Lebanese Christians), war criminal for others - leftists, Palestinians and Muslims. All the Christians present here support the revolution. their willingness to see the creation of a secular state is, on the other hand, variable - because many people are afraid of Hezbollah.
