Beirut explosion: Lebanon’s prime minister steps down as protests continue
Description
August 10, 2020
Lebanon’s prime minister announced his government’s resignation on Monday, saying a huge explosion that devastated the capital and stirred public outrage was the result of endemic corruption. Demonstrations broke out again in central Beirut, with some protesters hurling rocks at security forces guarding an entrance leading to the parliament building, who responded with tear gas. Crystal Goomansingh has more on these stories.
