Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab on Monday announced the resignation of his government nearly a week after a devastating explosion in Beirut that stirred public outrage and spurred a string of ministers to step down.
Diab announced the resignation of the entire cabinet in a televised evening address to the nation, characterizing the detonation of highly explosive material warehoused at the capital's port for the past seven years as being "the result of endemic corruption."
"Today, we follow the will of the people in their demand to hold accountable those responsible for the disaster that has been in hiding for seven years, and their desire for real change," he said. "In the face of this reality … I am announcing today the resignation of this government."

When will the Democrat governments in the US resign because of their role in the riots, looting, arson, and vandalism in America?
The US Congress should do the same.
I wonder if their is any ammonium nitrate under the capitol rotunda?
In a s**thole country like that, one corrupt government resigning just means another corrupt government takes its place. Nothing will change for the people of Lebanon.
Has Hezbollah stepped down? They run the country, and the PORT.
i wish
i’d hit the switch immediately
But who runs Hezbollah these days....
Where is Guy Fawkes when you need him?
The port explosion is a metaphor for the way the government runs in Lebanon.
Remember, remember the fifth of November.
Iran has always operated Hezbollah...and they will not give up Lebanon as it gives them a launch pad into Israel.
LOVE IT!!!
Two days after the election.
Ominous.
Seems kind of weird to me. Must be something more behind it.?!?!?
At least they had the decency to resign........the same can’t be said for the shithole cities in the U.S. of A that have been burning for the last 2 1/2 months.
You dont want Guy Fawkes
Right idea, but he failed, remember
Lebanon was a decent country when it had a majority Christian population. In the last few decades that has changed.-TOM
Lebanon · Religions
Muslim 54% (27% Sunni, 27% Shia), Christian 40.5% (includes 21% Maronite Catholic, 8% Greek Orthodox, 5% Greek Catholic, 6.5% other Christian), Druze 5.6%, very small numbers of Jews, Baha'is, Buddhists, Hindus, and Mormons
and in every american metro urban city run by libtards
Perhaps so.
