One Day, Different Perspectives
During the Lebanese revolution, various points of view were exposed on a daily basis. Therefore, in this timeline, I decided to shed the light on the different reactions and actions that followed certain politician’s speech. After a speech was delivered, the audience reacted differently. For those with the revolution, they continued protesting on the streets all hours, night and day. Whereas for those against it, they fill the streets with chaos, tensions and sometimes violence. They try to open the roads that leads to clashes between them and the protestors. Moreover, some political parties sent their supporters to create chaos on the streets, but the protestors would have none of it and it died down quickly. In consequences, the army in its turn began to get more involved. Ether to defend and protect the protestors or in contrary to open the roads, abuse or even arrest people. It is interesting to see the evolution of the number of protesters which decreased when violence increased.
