Lebanese protesters vow to keep protesting until a complete overhaul of a political system deemed inefficient and corrupt
Demonstrators in Lebanon tried to block key roads on Monday after a weekend of mass rallies confirmed that political promises had failed to extinguish the unprecedented protest movement.
"The people in power are not serious" about forming a new government, said Aadi, a 30-year-old demonstrator blocking a road that connects the capital to the southern city of Sidon.In a now almost daily game of cat-and-mouse with riot police, increasingly organised protesters erected temporary road blocks using dumpsters and parked vehicles.
With a power-sharing system organised along communal and sectarian lines, the allocation of ministerial posts can typically take months, a delay demonstrators say the country can ill afford. Yusef Fadel, a demonstrator in central Beirut, ruled out the possibility that the next government would include members of established parties.
Draped in white sheets, three demonstrators staged a mock execution of the grievances that pushed them down into the street.
