																		A national flag blocks the entrance (cars) of the Christian district of Achrafieh, towards the city center.It has been a week now since the Lebanese are demonstrating. From their basic and spontaneous demands (the abolition of the famous Whatsapp and Viber messaging networks user fee project), the movement has since turned into a revolution. Lebanese of all religions and all faiths are gathered in the heart of the capital, recreate the social link between them. Since the end of the civil war, communities have been de facto separated, politically (each has its political party or parties) and geographically. Beirut is divided into homogeneous community neighborhoods, but these barriers have jumped. Everyone is now every night in the city center. And talk to each other This Thursday night the rain reduced the number of participants, but the city remained occupied by the demonstrators, who demand the abolition of the confessional system in place. Some marginal tensions took place, groups said to be related to the Hezbollah who appeared, without flags, but modifying some slogans to spare their leader the popular (verbal) vindictiveness. The speech of the President of the Republic Michel Aoun earlier in the afternoon, mounted, did not calm the protesters. In essence, it refuses any political and institutional change caused by the street. Many rely on this weekend to gather hundreds of thousands of people again. In parallel, a festival atmosphere is created, with its sellers of juice, tea, and even improvised hookah bars.

																		It has been a week now since the Lebanese are demonstrating. From their basic and spontaneous demands (the abolition of the famous Whatsapp and Viber messaging networks user fee project), the movement has since turned into a revolution. Lebanese of all religions and all faiths are gathered in the heart of the capital, recreate the social link between them. Since the end of the civil war, communities have been de facto separated, politically (each has its political party or parties) and geographically. Beirut is divided into homogeneous community neighborhoods, but these barriers have jumped. Everyone is now every night in the city center. And talk to each other This Thursday night the rain reduced the number of participants, but the city remained occupied by the demonstrators, who demand the abolition of the confessional system in place. Some marginal tensions took place, groups said to be related to the Hezbollah who appeared, without flags, but modifying some slogans to spare their leader the popular (verbal) vindictiveness. The speech of the President of the Republic Michel Aoun earlier in the afternoon, mounted, did not calm the protesters. In essence, it refuses any political and institutional change caused by the street. Many rely on this weekend to gather hundreds of thousands of people again. In parallel, a festival atmosphere is created, with its sellers of juice, tea, and even improvised hookah bars.
