People also voiced their opposition to the sectarian system in Lebanon. “We want to live together in peace and with dignity,” one protester said.

“Today we are all demonstrating against the political class, whether we are Muslims, Christians or Druze.”

A young protester said, he graduated from university but couldn’t find a job because he does not belong to any political party.

The 14-day protest has forced the Lebanese government to resign.
