La Nuit des Musées 2019 is Taking Place This Saturday April 6th

Prime Minister Saad Hariri Greeted With Animals Painted in Blue!

I’m not sure where these photos were exactly taken, but they clearly show people painting camels and sheep in blue to greet Prime Minister Saad Hariri in their hometowns as he campaigns for his party ahead of the elections this weekend.

I totally understand people get over excited in some remote areas where politicians barely set a foot, but needless to say this is just too much…! I doubt people who come up with such ideas are mentally mature enough to choose their representatives in the parliament.

Photos from the clashes in Saida

The clashes between Ahmad Al-Assir gunmen and the Lebanese army have been going for around 24 hours now and it seems like the army is determined on either arresting Ahmad Al-Assir or getting him out of his complex in a body bag.

According to The Daily Star, the clashes have so far claimed the lives of at least 17 soldiers and more than 25 gunmen.

Below are some photos I managed to collect through twitter as well as a video showing some bodies of the gunmen. I hope it all end soon for the good people of Saida.

New drift park in Saida

The below video was shot at a new drift park in Saida started by a couple of guys welcoming racers who want to bring it to the track (for a certain fee I suppose) instead of the street.

We definitely need more of these parks around the country to hopefully reduce reckless driving on the streets, but I wish the organizers take safety more seriously since the video shows a very thin barrier between the crowds and the cars.
