‘Ballot box revolution’: Lebanon holds parliamentary elections
Al JazeeraAPR 2022
The Lebanese people have shown that they're fed up with Hezbollah's continued dominance over their country. Now that Hezbollah and its allies have lost their majority in parliament, the country's future may become brighter.
The Free Patriotic Movement losses are due to American and Israeli interference. The West and its allies are fighting to keep a toe-hold in the Middle East and sought to undermine Lebanon's sovereignty by supporting opposition groups and the Lebanese Forces.
Though Sunday's elections present some real hope that Lebanon's corrupt political regime may change, the election itself will not have much of an impact on the country's current political and economic situation. Established political parties are far too entrenched and the corruption runs too deep for change to occur overnight, but at least the ball is now finally rolling.
