Hundreds Protest in Lebanon as Garbage Crisis Worsens

By

Hundreds of people have kept up protests in Beirut as a crisis over garbage collection worsens with fresh piles of trash accumulating in streets of the capital.
Beirut has been jolted by daily protests for the past week, including two massive demonstrations that turned violent over the weekend.

The protests were sparked by the trash crisis but now target the country's entire political class and dysfunctional sectarian-based political system.
Organizers of the main protest movement, known as "You Stink," are calling on all Lebanese to take part in a huge rally planned for Saturday. On Wednesday, a few hundred people protested in downtown Beirut.
The crisis began last month after the government closed down Beirut's main landfill without providing an alternative for the capital and its suburbs.

Photo: Nigerian Traffic Warden In An Uncommon And 'Patriotic' Display Of 'Solidarity' With A Bus Driver

By
Welcome to Nigeria. A country where everything is possible. The picture above might not mean much to readers overseas, but it tells a lot to the 'country men'. I love my country because of the indispensable, unequivocal and meticulous way that things are been done without another naked eye, seeing. That picture above na solidarity be that oh. Cheerful giving or showing love to a fellow hustler. The picture below would explain what i mean. Exchanging hard currency as bribe through the palm. Exquisite, isn't it? Corruption on a low-key level. I wonder why i even added Patroitism. Well, let it remain there. Written by John Akweh.
