Outrage over Tuesday’s explosion in Lebanon’s capital has spilled onto its streets as thousands of people rallied – furious at the government.
The protests descended into hours of street battles between demonstrators and security forces.
One policeman is dead, and hundreds of people have been injured.

#Lebanon #BeirutBlast #LebanonProtests
Arabs, what are you doing? Do you want to be refugees as well.?
The problem is not the elite. It’s the people themselves
Just get rid of Hezbollah once and for all. That terrorist organization has completely destroyed the Lebanese economy.
After six years storage of 60,000 bags of ammonium nitrate why did this ignition take place? No one will ever know. This much is clear. The Republican Party Trump Administration is involved. Dollars to donuts
Bodo
No Justice, No Peace
Hahaha…
The ammonium nitrate was purchased by the International Bank of
Mozambique for Fábrica de Explosivos de Moçambique (FEM), a company that
makes commercial explosives, according to Baroudi and Partners – the
Lebanese law firm that represents the ship’s crew, in a statement dated
August 5, 2020 CORNELDER, the company that manages the port of Beira,
was never informed of the arrival of a ship with 2,750 tons of ammonium
nitrate in Mozambique.
“We are usually notified before a ship
arrives. In this case, we never received a notification from a ship that
came into the port of Beira with this name and this cargo ”, said
António Libombo, deputy managing director of CORNELDER. He has been
managing the port of Beira since 1998. Mozambique’s Ministry of
Transport and Communications also said it had not been informed of a
ship carrying this cargo that year.
The Mozambique Explosives
Factory (FEM) confirmed this Sunday (August 9th) that it had ordered the
2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate and found that the cargo seized by the
Lebanese authorities was due to another shipment such as the NITROPRIL
HD, such as the imprint of the explosives -Bags from ORICA MINING
SERVICES on photos, has been replaced. The order was placed by FEM in
2013 with the Georgian company SAVORA, and the planned unloading
location was the port of Beira in Mozambique, the official source of the
Mozambican company LUSA announced.
However, the cargo of the
explosives manufacturer Rustavi Azot LLC was “never delivered” because
the ship MV RHOSUS was detained in Beirut by order of the local
authorities. With the ship getting stuck in Beirut, SAVORO finally sent a
new shipment of ammonium nitrate through another ship. However, FEM has
given up on this supplier because of “non-compliance” with the delivery
times. FEM is owned by Moura, Silva & Filhos with headquarters in
Póvoa de Lanhoso, Braga district.
If nobody in Mozambique was waiting for the ammonium nitrate from Georgia, was the stop of the ship in Beirut “due to a technical defect” just a trick to deliver the cargo there?
For Lebanon experts it is extremely unlikely that the organization was not at least informed about the storage of the chemical. The person who actually manages the port of Beirut is Wafiq Safa, Hezbollah security chief and brother-in-law of Hasan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s general secretary. Safa is in turn married to Nasrallah’s sister. Perhaps they deliberately wanted to keep the easily accessible explosives store open for Hezbollah?
Pretty much every government is more less corrupted. I just hope these people will build Beirut again from the ground and won’t be running away as refugees.
While the world busy for rally, China is improving, enjoy your freedom crazy people, destroy your own country,
Secular citizen society, parliament, free elections, uncorrupted law and judges. No sectarian divisions
the corruption killed beirut rip to all who passed away to this tragic incident justice must serve!!!
My heart breaks for these people. As bad as it is here in the U.S. And it is bad. At least right now, it is not this bad.

Hey Lebanon! Would you like a million African migrants? If so, then hand your country over to France.
Time to break out the guillotines!
Republic of Islamic of Iran must be kicked out of Lebanon! Down with Islamic republic of Iran, including Khamenee the big dictator of Iran!
Down with Hezbollaah!👹👹👹👹
Iran is a big problem in Middle East
Incompetence, corruption and disaster… Time for real changes and justice for the good people of Lebanon!
Sure – let the government resign, then no one is accountable. Clean up your mess.

Watch how Saudi Arabia and the US will intervene in this vulnerable moment and start a proxy war against the Iranian influence in Lebanon. Protests will turn into brutal and violent rebellion and then soon funded terrorism by Saudi Arabia and the US to knock off the Iranian influence in Lebanon. Things are gonna get really messy and no side is morally right.
*please note that DEVIL WORSHIP is the basis for all wrong doing. see the book CURSE OF CANAAN of the most honourable EUSTACE MULLINS. see also the testimonies of TOOS NIJENHUIS about child abuse, that TALMUD is a very important factor. we live in a world controlled by forces who obey the devil. these forces themselves are trapped and PUT IN A NARROW CORNER, and do not live in circumstances they choose, but circumstances arranged by the devil. THIS NEEDS TO STOP , AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.*
Many are resigning and its a great opening for *Hezbollah* to take over with Iran at the helm.
young healthy bodies wasting their youth and energy on marches and protests while old people are soon to be starving . winter will be here in a few months . no home no food. just pointless rage aimed at no one but themselves for allowing corrupt politicians to settle into comfort and corruption
There has never an Arab government that was not corrupt and criminal.
this people are victm of the corruption of their politicians… they need to go to the houses of this governants and destroy everything, like the politicians do with them…
Lebanese Spring??

You’re NOT supposed to hang people– even if they are wicked… You gotta kill them another way…to not “curse their God, or Ghost–?? — God says in the Old Testament… When He commands the deaths of a wicked village, of witches/murderers, who “burned their children in pots”– so…try firing squad…
Over throw the government
Kayanya ini ada campur tangan dr musuh2 libanon
AlsalamoAlaikum, I am 33 year old engineer. I want to build hospital in my village back home in Pakistan that will provide free health care for poor. I need your moral and financial support. Life is short please join me in this Sadaka Jaariya. Please follow me on Instagram @prjhospital to show your support.
Lebanon should eliminate the influence of Hezbollah.
Don’t bother with foreign intervention, if a government isn’t stable on its own, it deserves a revolution.
No county should ever have a “political elite”. They put their own personal comfort over the needs of the people. Time for a political revolution. The people deserve to democratically select their own leaders.
Good idea, we should implement the same in india. Corruption is the moto
Yess I cant wait until we do this across the world 🤲🏾

They are burning their own country.
🤣

One chemical explosion has effectively silenced the revolutionary voices from Lebanon. People of Lebanon are now interested in their future, rebuilding Beirut. No one bothers about what injustice Israel is doing. What the mighty US, UK, Israel and allies could not do in 70 years, one unfortunate explosion has done that. May people of Lebanon be blessed with a conflict less bright future. Israel is quietly smiling – “a hand of God”.
reap what you soil
Bad governors ever killing ppl
Did the government plan the blast ?
Select only young old 40´s enough to have knowledge and good ❤️ heart Christians to be great 👍 rulers of Lebanon 🇱🇧
Politicians are divided Shia.sunny & Christians
Come forward whistle blowers.which politicians moved money where?Switzerland must come clean and reveal them.
We seek refuge in God against the devil.
In The Name Of God The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful,
When We decide to destroy a town, We command those corrupted by wealth [to reform], but they [persist in their] disobedience; Our sentence is passed, and We destroy them utterly. (16)

Al-Isra’, Aya 16
Lebanon not all of them are angels among the poor and the rich you’ll find soldier of the devil people that agreed of corruption not necessarily wealth corruption but human values and African’s slavery you’d believe what is happening is sad, rather not judge by what we see and ear.
Let’s keep on praying for the believers around the world. And let’s keep on or start asking forgiveness to The Almighty.
New political elite? That would certainly be the same thing all over again. You have to kick the Iranians and Hizbolah out. And you must start with Iran. This may just help Trump get elected again
the government kill their own people…shame of you especially the president
What this, provokator israel??
*We’re going out Qnet refrence out will screeds but silentdragon leads distrube me off sanction steps,can tried straight away off long term but if regional one treatboned needs we laugh together – Congress*

This is old school tactics. Cause a event to destabilise a country then send in the jaculs 🙈🙉🙊👀👍
What r u stupid doing??? Is not gonna going no where!!!!!
All Lebanese are saints, only the government came from outer space and took over that perfect nation… or maybe the government the a product of the society? Think about it.
Hisbolah wont leave the country! they await israels second attack after the Nuclear attack on Beirut! iran doesnt want the nuclear weapons, but i have a feeling after the nuclear attack on Beirut they change their minds! Its not the attack itself, its the wesern cowards including russia givin israel a cover for doing that and dont punish them! Fake Pony story of a chemical stored somewere! The blast radius was a big as Hiroschima!
Together Belarus and Lebanon. Revolt!
early elections is not enough….there must be term limits for politicians!
Hizb iblisss
The corrupt government needs to resign step down and let the people elect in you government. They let their people down with the failure to get rid of such hazardous materials and also all the other economic disasters that happened.
You know what’s going to happen folks like it always happens they get one set of criminals out and they put one set of criminals in garbage in garbage out
Peacefully! Very sad. The reality about this protest is, the initiators of the Beirut blast are the responsible for the protests. Everything was already been planned & organized since before the blast.
The painful thing is, how the victims of the blast are being manipulated and being used in worsening the condition in Lebanon, all for the benefit of the attackers.
Sabr
West trying to enter Lebanon, can’t say govt responsible or there some 1 making this protest from behind to unstable a nation just Arab spring
The only answer is for eradicating Hezbollah and any Islamic Parties from governance – as they are the root cause for Lebanon’s degradation to stone-ageism. This is the time for people of Lebanon to whole-heartedly unite and reinstate a sane ethical Christian Govt. – sounds impossible and crazy, but will the Lebanese realise that any Islamic despotic ruler/s will only rule by intimidation and hardcore stone-age policies.
The got to put out hesbania they are the ones controlling everything
🐻🖲️🎵Sulfer Nitrates to Syria Didn’t Work on Field.
GET UP STAND UP
STAND UP FOR UR RIGHT

Explosives blow up at a port, so the people destroy the entire town. The demand revenge……and hangings…… what about justice and maintaining order
What a waste.
The world of governments now stand above their peoples, and subject them to punishment for things they do freely themselves. Time to strike that behavior down,pick up arms and put up a fight for what’s rite…..
GET OUT ALL THAT CRIMINAL GOBERMENT
Obviously Hizbollah is the most free and just organization in the world. Epitome of freedom and liberation.
Sadly the government will turn Lebanon into the next Syria
Actually many country have corrupted politician and they are all time bomb for the world !
XD
These rioters are idiots. They should be spending their energy on rebuilding.
Exactly what the western terrorist nations want and expected
WHY U HAVE TO PROTEST INSTEAD OF ALL OF PRAY AT HOME. NO ONE WANT THIS BLAST HAPPEN. PRAY TO ALLAH NOTHING IMPOSIBLE TO ALLAH.
They call them protesters and the first image is a fire burning. Those are rioters.
Hizbolah is the couse of libanon decline .
