    The Lebanese hashtag If I were the leader (لو_انا_الزعيم) has been trending on Twitter in Lebanon with many explaining what they’d do differently than their current leaders.

    Here’s what they got to say.

    #1 Fix the exchange rate

    #لو_انا_الزعيم كنت بخلّي الدولار بـ 1500 ليرة 🙂

    — A//G 🇱🇧 (@Alexghdr) February 11, 2021

    “If I were the leader, I’d keep the dollar at 1,500 LBP.”

    #2 Stop the monopoly of all sectors

    “If I were the leader, I’d stop the monopoly of all sectors and open the door to competition with supporting agriculture, tourism, and industry.”

    #3 Make pensions for the hungry and unemployed

    https://twitter.com/Lolo85313011/status/1359574881105510401

    “If I were the leader, I would have made pensions for people who have no food and who are unemployed.”

    #4 Wouldn’t have left the people to face things on their own

    #لو_انا_الزعيم. ماكنت تركت الشعب يواجه بنفسه مصيره السيئ واموالة المسروقة ومستقبل ولادة الضايع.

    — Samira Mohsen ❤سوا ❤ (@Samira29320966) February 10, 2021

    “If I were the leader, I wouldn’t have left the people to face their own ill fate, the stolen money, and their children’s lost future.”

    #5 Benefit from the talented youth

    #لو_انا_الزعيم كنت بعمل خطة استفيد من الشباب الصاعد مش خليهم يهاجروا ويروحوا يعطوا طاقاتهم لبلدان تانية 🚬☕️

    — aboualirahme (@aboualirahme) February 10, 2021

    “If I were the leader, I would have created a plan to benefit from the rising youth instead of letting them migrate and go and give their talents to other countries.”

    #6 Say no to any leader

    #لو_انا_الزعيم لا لأيِّ زعيم…بل لمسؤول ٍ يحترم الدستور والقانون ويخدم الشعب من دون تمييز.

    — Yazbek Wehbe (@YazbekWehbe) February 10, 2021

    “No to any leader… but for an official who respects the constitution, the law, and serves the people without discrimination.”

    #7 End sectarianism

    https://twitter.com/Mohmohsen_2/status/1359547839836225540

    “If I were the leader, the first thing I’d do is end political sectarianism that is the cause of every problem in Lebanon.”

    #8 Condemn everyone indifferent towards pain

    #لا إنتصارات في بلد هزمته اللامبالاة بفقر ابناؤه وبطالة شبابه وتعثر إقتصاده وغياب انماؤه فالجميع مُدان 👌 #لو_انا_الزعيم

    — Fitnat Rumye (@FitnatRumye) February 10, 2021

    “There are no victories in a country defeated by indifference towards the poverty of its children, the unemployment of its youth, the failure of its economy, and the absence of its development, for everyone is condemned.”

    #9 Protect women from domestic violence

    #لو_انا_الزعيم اول شي بعملوا هو اصدار قانون حكم الاعدام لحماية المرأة من العنف الاسري pic.twitter.com/YcTsAspGFF

    — lara (@lara02211455) February 10, 2021

    “If I were the leader, the first thing I’d do is pass a death sentence law to protect women from domestic violence.”

    #10 Give child custody to the mother

    #لو_انا_الزعيم
    كنت بعطي حضانة الاطفال للأم وبفرض تسليما معاش شهري من قبل الدولة

    — 𝓜𝓪𝔂𝓪 𝓪𝓵𝓲 𝓱𝓪𝓶𝔃𝓮 (@MayaHamze9) February 10, 2021

    “If I were the leader, I’d give custody of the children to the mother and impose monthly childcare from the state.”
