The entire Lebanese government has just resigned following the devastation of much of Beirut, including the country’s main port by the explosion last week. Protests had followed with violence by police against protestors reaching almost Portland levels.
Lebanon's government has resigned amid mounting anger over the explosion on Tuesday that devastated parts of Beirut and left more than 200 people dead.
The announcement was made in a national TV address by Prime Minister Hassan Diab on Monday evening.
Many people have accused the country's leaders of culpability through their alleged negligence and corruption.
Protesters have taken to the streets for two straight days over the blast.
Lebanon has an unfortunate history of governments falling and all that happens is the same old faces get re-shuffled so don’t be too hopeful.
