Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri has turned in his resignation to President Michel Aoun, satisfying one of the main demands of the country's protest movement.
"I'm heading to the presidential palace to tender the resignation of
the government ... This is in response to the will and demand of the
thousands of Lebanese demanding change," he added
The announcement on Tuesday Oct 29,2019 came on the back of 13
days of mass protests demanding the departure of the country's entire
political elite amid growing anger over official corruption, poor public
services and years of economic mismanagement.
"We have reached a deadlock and we need a shock in
order to brave through the crisis," Hariri said in a televised statement
from the capital, Beirut.
