The collapse of the Lebanese economy is rapidly accelerating.
Rival politicians have so far failed to agree on the shape and make-up of a new government that would be needed to ensure international aid.
And as Al Jazeera’s Zeina Khodr reports from Beirut, those same politicians are accused of decades of corruption that has nearly bankrupted the state.

#Lebanon
Where is so called Ummah ? Is Ummah there only to make noise when Israel attacks Hamas ? It’s a different matter that those noises also don’t work. Help Lebanon, stop funding mosques abroad.
No dogs bites
@kehakshan jabeen everyone and everything bites..only that should be right person who asks right question in right times…don’t worry..we ll continue to pose right questions.
@anil nayak please go a head brother these you tube is not own by me to stop you from anything
@anil nayak Due to covid They can’t protest hezbollah leader told them to stay in homes till its gone And it has been working perfectly But the Government is corrupted And they argue over seats while hezbollah just agrees with anything and says establish a government and if you can’t move aside for other people
Ummah , I hear about this word … but only in science fiction!
WTF 😧
At any moment, Israel will retaliate against the Hezbollah and decimate their slums.
I think that Israel would rather leave Lebanon collapse into itself
We don’t want any disgusting Zionist idealedgy. You can talk about your plans at your bi-weekly Kkk club.
Ok Racist
Bruh If You want the terrorists ideology. Keep it.
Hezbollah destroys any country they have their hands on.
This is horrible…their water supply is an issue as well
Hizbullah should be given more patronage 😂😂😂😂😂
negara2 laen nyusul.
Apa?
Still they managed to fire missiles to Israel 🤨
So something good came out of it😃
@OG-GREEN MACHINE Yup, you received 6 rockets back.
@Osher Ohayon
I love fireworks .
I’m like a kid
OG-GREEN MACHINE yes, starvation and a state ran by radical terrorist. Better to buy missiles than to eat. Starve in peace my dying brothers and sisters. Your choices determine your future.
@OG-GREEN MACHINE you are like a brainwashed Jihadi kid.. who prefers missile over food.. and call it a fireworks.. A well trained kid ..🧐 I can see it
Unfortunately…people suffer the consequences of the state mismanagement…😞
Must exporting, any event develop
Kick the IMF and the government out , bring in China, integrate hizbila into Lebanese army, establish unified Lebanon under an equal constitution. It is possible but if you don’t get out of your couch then keep suffering.
The Israelis didn’t even need to send in warplanes or ground troops. All they needed to do was sit back and let the corrupt, traitorous politicians destroy the country. Now they can move and in buy things for next to nothing. That’s what the European (Ashkenazi) Zionists did in Palestine and before you knew it, there was no Palestine left.
Lebanon is, Muslim country, but now Allah don’t doing anything 😂😂
Where are your million of gods to protect you against covid? And those Muslim countries supplied you with oxygen, ingrate.
Covid patient spotted
Ram ram ji loray ka baal
Maybe Gaza is also a failed State because the ruling government is a corrupt terrorist organization… Israel is just the easy scapegoat.
Labnan no inwst in teknolgy end menufekchry end no karet job only iting
😢😢😢😢😢
Lebanon prints money and it loses its value, us, europe and other western countries print money and prosperity for all
Dumb azz …eu and America r manufacturing power house backed by top technologies also,they produce tons gas,oil and goods….Lebanon is the opposite…they import everything add that with bad leadership
They are also considered as reserved currency, so the inflation is also offloaded to other countries reserves, meaning stealing through other countries reserves to dilute their own inflation.
@Yihuda ይሁዳ Things does not that way, their “manufacturing power house” doesn’t magically becomes more productive when they print more money, it is just diluted.
Not sure about that. Lumber is up 400%, fuel up 50%. Everything is up, dollar is falling as Marxist government prints and prints and prints money
@ WildBill22360. Lebanon doesn’t have a Marxist government, what?
Awww this is really really sad. Honestly no one wants to see this happen.
Sad Sarah? So how much have you donated sweety Sarah?😹
@Caring Sharing even if she donate 1million euro isn’t enough what’s your point ?
It’s a great example of living with what you murdered for. Many have little sympathy.
Electrical Generation through Solar + Water Desalination Through Solar.
Create Hydrogen Gas and Sell it ?
When I got the actual fact about salaries was during the lockdown salaries don’t make you rich, I went into trading last year and I bought my first house in the beginning of this year. Then realised I wasted a lot of time.
Congrats, I believe good investment pays once you are able to take the risk 😉. Last year taught us a lot, Happy for you man.
But never invest on your own… You creepy cryptos should contact expert Trump. Otherwise posting the same info make you y’all look like scammers, which you are! At least try to alternate your wordings to make it appear genuine.🙉🐵🙈
@Caring Sharing bots
GOD BLESS LEBANON 🇱🇧
Providing they ban smoking, fossil fuel emissions, drinking, gambling and go eco-friendly.
Amim
Maybe the French will take Lebanon back into the Republic and sort all there problems out. Or I bet if they rang up the US and said they were kicking out Hezbollah they would get a ton of aid
Lebanon is gonna be the next venezuala man with hezbollah feel sorry for them 😐
@Bruh Hey 😂😂
@Andrew Gnys bruh may be israel should reoccupy lebanon again it was much better then
@MUN Chak yes bro..and steal many more land and turn to aparthied state.
@Sami K U can’t blame Hezbollah because of the politics that want him out r the ones r stealing their country some of them went Las Vegas to Gaming
That is what happened when government contoled by terorist organisation that want to destroy neighboring country.
Ask Israel to help you and open its border for Lebanon workers .
Workers make in Israel $2-5000 a month and 100 000 workers from Lebanon in Israel will be enough to take Lebanon out of crisis.
Time for these people to find their pitchforks and take care of their own. Tar and feather and rope to all the politicians and maybe, just maybe you folks can then figure out how to turn your nation around.
Next thing you know another Syria with mass migration to European countries causing another crisis.
move to non islam country to protest against israel and human rights. when their islamic government is corrupted can people protest.
yet hundreds of thousands are desperate to move to non islamic country. bet you those officials have assest in non islamic country. so much for supporting the ummah.
You think a corrupt politician is gonna be the shining beacon of hope who prays daily?
So, Lebanon is going to become LEBAN – NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No words
Nation who bless israel will be blessed but country who attack israel will be cursed -God probably
Israel, not the zionists
@dark matter and became slave to israhell forever..
the truth is the other nation dont even care
Very sad
مرحبًا أيها الناس ، توقفوا عن عادة التدخين السيئة إذا كنتم تريدون النجاح
في ناس ما بتدخن وما عم تنجح بحياتها 👍🌹😄
Get rid of Hezbollah and people supporting Hammas… Get rid of those crooked politicians controlled by Syria…
If it wasn’t for Hezbollah than Lebanon would of went down over 20 yrs ago it’s those crooked politics that gets paid by USA and Israel r the ones r doing it but they still blame Hezbollah
@Friend Ship as long as terrorist like Hezbollah is Idolized , people will suffer
Man that country used to be so wealthy…. So sad.
It was robbed blind by its corrupt politicians
I’m sorry for my country iam praying for here
Massive corruption, sectarian violence and brain drain has resulted in this mess. Other countries should learn a lesson.
U forgot two things =====>>Too much import and unsustainable debt 💸
Other countries surely should, but some simply won’t. See Argentina for example. Soon to become the next Lebanon.
I’m just waiting for Aljazeera to somehow blame this on Israel. Watch, it’ll come
Hehehe
Sa7
I blame them.
@OG-GREEN MACHINE do you work for AJ? Lol
@Mendy Bisk dude he is an Islamist terrorist like their prophet Muhammad the pedophile
Come to India 😂😂
I’m surprised they don’t blame israel
Why would they blame Israel when this isn’t Israel’s fault?
Correct
I do
A small things can ruin big things.. zionis terorist Dajjal Israel must be erase from earth especially in middle east.. dangerous threat in all aspect life.. ukhuwah islamiah
Lebanon Trap In West EU Policies To Save Israel And Destruct Lebanon
Hamas Hezbollah are all crooks get rid of them what proof do you need
😭😭😭😭😭
Another Iraq coming
Lebanon only solution is to walk away from the French help .
French trap🙉
🗑
Lebanese were so f..ng arrogant in those days touting as Paris of Middle East. But where is money for Hezbollah??
They can sell land to Israel n problems solved
Fail because of corrupted politician
My suggestion. Get rid of the politician and joint Turkey
lol turkey another failed state 😂
@Chethaka prabhath lol bagwaan jji is another gandu and chutya
Lebanon is a country that has a government that cannot control itself from many factors – many have interest in so many different ways & corruption is inevitable…
I Thought Lebanon is Rich Country compared to our belove Philippines…
It was rich
They used to be but,they destroyed it
Philippines bowed down to the west.
People in the Middle East don’t want to bow down to the conqueror.
So they are punished
@OG-GREEN MACHINE when people’s minds is filled with Jihadi type mindset it’s is bound to collapse
If anyone pay attention, First the Lebanese need to get rid of Hezbollah from the goverment.
Without these step, IMF or other financial authority wont help them.
Christians should migrate to the United States.
Sunnis to Libya, Algerie, Chad and Sudan.
Then Turkey annex it.
Build by the france gifted by the british
It’s the central bank they did it to Venezuela. Now they are doing it to Lebanon….
Nothing accurate in that statement. It goes so much further than any of that.
@WildBill22360 for a YouTube comment. This is as accurate as it can be… Otherwise I would have to write an article to explain it….
Saudi and imarat are afraid of the Same faith that’s why they are siding with Israel and the US
Wow. Even Pizza Hut is giving up on Lebanon.
What do you think help destroy it genius?
Do you think that Pizza Hut money was going to the Lebanese?
People as stupid as you
will always be the problem
@OG-GREEN MACHINE Should not have been there anyway. What is there for Pizza Hut?
Everything is going to be alright!
Allowing Palestinian refugees into Lebanon destroyed the previously prosperous shining Lebanon. Moral of story is to not support strangers against your fellow citizens over pity sectarian differences.
🤡
@OG-GREEN MACHINE gay boi
So sad to hear this kind of news
May God give for Lebanon and his people quick recovery
People need to go back to islam, only that can save them
A lot of Lebanese expats are very wealthy…I can see why they left this (once upon a time paradise)place
It wonot change untill iran goes away
Lebanese people should elect educated leaders to run their country. Don’t elect the leader on the basis of religion.
looks like they spend far too much money on cars in lebanon
Rockets
Was done on purpose.
At least they blame them self , maybe they have hope after all
I say is USA is behind this with Israel because they pay the crooked politics to steal and stuff the country up
Do you miss khadaffi yet ???
That Libya not Lebanon
Make some report on Pakistan also , our condition is worse then Lebanon, Govt staff has not been paid for over two years. everything is collapsing here. No water No toilets, malnutrition and highest infant morality rate. I can go on and on. please expose our rulers and puppet of army
So the army gets donations but not the ordinary people?
Sounds like a good time to fire some missiles at israel. I mean export rockets over the border
Praying for Lebanon and Venezuela 🙏🙏🙏 people are suffering to this bullshit corrupted governments
“Something my home country the Philippines will head to as we are the Venezuela of Asia its equivalent in the continent .?!”
pre pa vaccine ka muna
@Ryann Verano I don’t need your stupid advice because you’re neither medical professional nor expert especially from a person like you who have never been outside of this 3rd world nation. Stop fantasizing Philippines of the past 20th century as it will never happen again because even you knew into yourself that if Philippines was really a great nation why is it a poor nation for all I know great nations coming from a person who has travel several times in some countries great countries are those who have universal social structure system like Finland and many other European and highly developed nations .?!”
@Paolo Santiago anu pre? US made kba or China..haha
So many countries has corrupted governments and their all useless. Why do these people, even let these government continue to be government?
Welcome to Islam!
Says the satan-talmoodist
remove all terrorist bases and proxy forces from other arab states and run your country with full determination without any religious bias…
Eat,root,shoot and leave,the leaders should have been demonized and given to the people to take out their eyes.
Well well, Lebanese People went on the streets protested against their government and got rid of Saad Hariri … thats a Good One! But then the new governemnt came into power, then the beirut blast happened and again the Lebanese protested against this new governement, which had no idea what was stored in the port… And You know what? Hariri, the billionaire and his elite are coming back into power in lebanon …
Well People of Lebanon … you obviously deserve him …
I hope the people of Lebanon find alternatives… Maybe democratic confederalism, like Rojava. Every state is a humanitarian failure on the making.
very sad state of affairs.
Even in such a dire economic stage, they were bombing Israel. What a shame. Why don’t Islamic Umma help them.
Remember that massive explosion 9 months ago
Did not know it was this bad. Sad state of affairs.
France should be invited back to help
Protect Lebanon from the state in the SOUTH.
is a collapsed economy a valid ground for seeking an asylum in other countries?
The glo bal ist el ites who own is ra wants it’s neighboors to be weak because of irredentism, secondly it wants to invade Europe with migrants.
@Nestor Hackenberg but how? we can turn them back. legally. there is no war in Lebanon.
@Āris Plūģis This is not about Europe and migrants. We are just a bunch of chess players, in the bigger picture. This goes much higher than just migrants and Europe.
@Nestor Hackenberg this globalist versus beer drinking plebs. bring it on!
Not really, being poor is not an excuse to leave your country. It’s only when it becomes so bad that you fear death is when you should leave it
If this keeps going a civil war will happen, IMO the United Nations should take control over Lebanon because a disaster will happen soon, why wait for refugees when you can save the country before it even happens?
When you allow terrorist and another country, the leader in exported terror, to run your country you live like back in 15th century. It was in my lifetime that Beirut was a beautiful international city like a smaller Paris. But being intolerant to other races and religions, the Lebanese decided better to kill everyone, or kick them out, that do not believe in killing everyone with different beliefs. I remember when Christians had a large say so. What a beautiful country it was then. In late 1970s I always wanted to visit. Later I avoided it like the plague. We say you get what you vote, or in this instance, kill for. You live in what you wanted. Stop crying and enjoy your choices.
I went to Lebanon before the collapse..the people there were nice and fine…
IRAN
Enough is enough!!!!
When the righteous prevail, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.
I hope it is not curtain call for Lebanon after all those good old days when it was wealthy and healthy. Sad that it came to this situation. Paupers are not choosy ! Just be sure that in escaping boiling water and not into the fire. If the French according to some did miraculous thing to Lebanon during the old days perhaps why not give it a thought. It has a exploding population with less oppurtunity and not much sources of income like oil and tourism which was almost destroyed because of sectarian fighting. Mismanagement and corruption among its politician is so great and have no imagination at all. The government has a gargantuan problem in its hand who ever that is.
Don’t worry you can always look at Pakistan
This is the solution for Lebonon:
-Stop talking and start action
-Protest everyday in front of every main government offices in every city.
-Go back to Allah, ask for repentance, and ask for help and make public dua.
-Obey to Allah and stop all corruptions and immorals in your life and your family
-Help each and be kind to each other.
-Don’t try to be greedy and selfish
May Allah make it easy for you amin.
❤️🌹
You forgot corruption idiot!
@Masoumeh Hosseini you can add corruption in the list without insulting me. May Allah forgive you.❤️
This is what happens when you involved religion with politics
And soon it ( maybe ) will became part of israel empire….
Well only time can tell….
No hope for Lebanon as long hezbollah’s terrorist militia is present
meanwhile hezbollah is getting rich from iranian funds
Let Jesus in and things will change immediately the father will provide more than just 🍞 you’re blessing are waiting for you🙏🙏🙏
