شبان من "طلعت ريحتكم" "يحتلون" وزارة البيئة: باقون حتى تحقيق مطالبنا

BRAVO ...Keep going guys !

as mr ibrahim al amine wrote in his excellent editorial this movement is mostly lead by shi3at al safarat in a plot to elect a president other that general michel aoun, but we're on to you.

Romantic silliness of youth will lead nowhere just like the occupy protests in the west, lots of noise that amounted to nothing in the end.

Machnouq is the scapegoat.
As if he was the man responsible for all that crap...
His resignation wouldn't change a thing.
We need a new republic, a new constitution, and the renewal of all the politicians in this country... his resignation wouldn't even be a start...
This being said, if I was him, for pride & honor, i would have resigned.

You sound like you have a perfect plan, which is to do nothing and whine at those who do. You'll go far in life.

maybe but machnouq has showed in daylight how incompetent he is; it would be honourable for him just to quit

OTV you should be ashamed of yourselves for your BIASED coverage on what's happening in downtown Beirut right now...Just because you don't agree with the one Protester ( who by the way has every right to post anything about ANY religion anywhere on his social media accounts ) so all the movement has become corrupt and are 1 sided as declared by your station and your website.

Your first job and duty should be to show the viewer the real goings on at the scene and NOT to criticize the youth that are doing an amazing job at resurrecting a country that has been on life support due to all the political that your ministers has been part of all the while...

Shame on you !

Make imbecil the environment minister

Sometimes, in order to be heard civilian movements must take action or they will not be taken seriously. I don't believe this movement is going to make progress unles it puts pressure by doing things like that without going over the edge and risk retaliation from security forces which will then justify their actions.

lebjack : the problem is the paralysis i agree , but this lousy minister has not taken a proactive approach several months ago when this problem was showing up ! he deserves to be kicked out and i agree with the protestors

All this is because of Hezbollah' +Aoun paralysis of the government since 2005

Pajama boy
Je ne suis pas communiste bien au contraire. En fait je suis un banquier comment donc puis je etre un communiste?
N'empeche que Hariri a avale Beirut et a "vole" Beyrouth et a cause beaucoup de victims don't ma famille. #20,000 de stock pour un immobilier valant a ce temps la $5 millions. Alors bon

meet all our demands or we'll throw a temper tantrum

We will get nowhere in Lebanon until the generation of you M8 and M14 idiots gets old and we the younger secular generation (with brains) replace your stupid politicians who have have not improved anything the last 40 years.

STINKING POLITICAL MANIPULATION,
" in longer term Activist group called for parliamentary general election and election of a president"
This exactly what FPM wants.
I am against such plan, not because it is the idea of Aoun but because in this situation it will be impossible to have fair election. Beside if it occurs these elections will be done under the gunpoint in the favour of the illegal armed group HA.
The people started manifestation with good intention of finding solution for the waste solution
But now "youStink" group is going towards complete vacuum.
That's why I am concerned that "youStink" is effectively STINKING OF POLITICAL MANIPULATION.
I wish my brain is tiny (like many will tell me) and that I am wrong, but the progress of the situation is proving me right

exactly! imagine what would happen if the demonstrators occupied Berri's office;)

And John you saw all this while LIVING IN AUSTRALIA I mean Koura.

Well if an awoumiyeh think that way chapeau...
U kno shiak most of the lebanese are from this or other party because they are born in this or that family, like the way u inhirrite ur religion..
So anyone who thinks this way is more than welcome; happy to have u back bigjohn; all means all!!!
Btw shiak ur nickname is unappropriate man... Really... Again hachem al salman was a shiite and killed in daylight by hezbos and his family was not able to do proper funeral bc of threats by hezbos...

the protesters are 100% right about their frustration on these corrupted politicans.

but they also are 100% wrong about their demands and how to fix the problem.

occupying buildings, attacking security forces, behaving as they are now makes them thugs like those they are revolting against.

asking for resignation of government, makes them stupid, because they don't know where that will lead them.

the solution is clear: revolt in front of every leader, and force them to go to parliament to elect a president. this will automatically consider the government as resigned.

then form a neutral government that will work on electoral law, then run a new parliamentary election.

this is the only way the people's voice can be heard in smart peaceful way.

I am now convinced this is not an innocent movement. As it gets dark, the thugs are taking over and attacking the ISF. I also saw a video where a lead demonstrator inside the ministry was asking the ISF negotiator to handcuff him and take him out of the building. The ISF negotiator was telling him no need for that just go out peacefully. He kept insisting on being handcuffed. He obviously wanted to be seen handcuffed in order to demonize the ISF.

Agree, then Jumblat is second rank lieutenant.

The problem is not Right wing or Left wing. It is corrupt Politicians who divided the cheese and were able to do it by dividing the people into secular alleys.

Big john
Rather than name each party in a rather divisive way just say that ALL our politicians are corrupt. There is no need to start with M14 then add the rest
Kinda lame

Retrieve the stolen money then hang them

we should also prevent former ministers and former MP's to receive salary for life even though they finished serving in their jobs
