MojNews-Protesters blocked roads in Beirut and other parts of Lebanon on Monday, continuing the wave of demonstrations that have immobilized the country since mid-October.

The protest is effectively a sequel of Sunday evening’s anti-government demonstration that saw tens of thousands of Lebanese streaming into capital’s main square following a smaller rally earlier in the day in support of President Aoun . The protesters called for a general strike Monday and for a rapid formation of government following Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s resignation last week.

Unprecedented demonstrations have gripped Lebanon since October ۱۷, demanding an overhaul of political leadership deemed corrupt and incompetent.
