Episode 59 - Lebanon on fire by The Lebanese Politics Podcast

It's a bumper episode this week, and slight departure from our usual format given the realities in Lebanon right now.

Nizar and Ben are joined by Timour Azhari, senior reporter at The Daily Star, to discuss everything that has unfolded over the last seven days, starting with wildfires on Monday and erupting into still ongoing mass protests across the country that began Thursday night.

We break down what has happened day by day, with analysis on why events unfolded as they did, what the protests seek to achieve, the political response thus far, and the immediate and potential impacts of the protests going forward.
