Lebanon’s capital has witnessed a night of violence as protesters demanded action, saying they are tired of waiting for the government to fix the ongoing economic crisis.
Security forces fired water cannon and tear gas on demonstrators in a face-off that lasted several hours.
More than 200 people were injured.

Imad Harb, director of research at the Arab Center Washington, DC, joined us on Skype. He says the ruling elite still is not doing enough to answer people’s demands.
