    Updated list Oct 22

    We’ve just been informed that our Lebanese people in Australia have decided to launch their own protests, two in Sydney and one in Melbourne to support their brothers and sisters on the Lebanese ground. It is time to ascertain that the protests of the brave Lebanese nation, which started by a few dozens in central Beirut less than 3 days ago, have widespread all over the world, making their one-voice heard from major cities around the world.

     

    From Lebanon to Canada and the US, passing by Europe and now reaching Australia, with countless cities witnessing the strong will of the Lebanese people to live with dignity, they are writing their new history.
