Lebanese people are well known for their deep love of conspiracy theories and politics, so it is no surprise that Michel Hayek has been the star of New Year’s Eve for three decades.
It’s in our culture and traditions; from ‘reading the coffee cup” to discussing our dreams for some clue of what’s coming to or for us, and tuning to some daily horoscope reading.
Whether we believe in that or not, there is always a thrill and stomach butterflies to want to know what is being predicted.
So, if you are as curious, get to also know what Michel Hayek predicted for the countries of the Middle-East; from Syria to Iraq and Saudi Arabia, among numerous others.
