- Story Text: Protesters took to the streets of Lebanon on Wednesday (October 23) as unprecedented demonstrations against the political elite which have swept across the country entered their seventh evening.
Demonstrators waved flags and let off flares as large numbers of people lined the streets.
In an effort to restore public buildings to the people, protesters staged a film screening in Beirut's iconic 'The Egg' building, an unfinished cinema built in 1965.
Lebanese leaders are discussing a possible government reshuffle, sources said on Wednesday. With a population of 6 million people including around 1 million Syrian refugees, Lebanon has been swept by protests against politicians blamed for corruption and waste in a state mired in debt and economic crisis.
