in tripoli's out of north square had good reason to assemble that demand to overthrow the political class the does dominated lebanon for 30 years and with the resignation of the prime minister on october the 29th the protests seemed to be working there was no doubt that there was something of a party atmosphere at this demo and d.j. marty k. read the mood of patriotism by playing the national anthem. he seemed to proud to play a part in continuing the pressure for change. i am participating in the revolution to live in a decent country a country like any other country because this is not our country and there are so many things wrong i purchase are created to eliminate the wrong things and the protesters also recognized how music and a d.j. can unite the crowd and he is uniting people through one music one clap one speech
3:03 pm
we are all in the same rhythm the d.j. is causing great excitement he's making people stronger in the revolution the deejays encouraging people a lot. of them. in a country divided on sectarian lines this coming together is a strong indication of the reach of the protests that are now really gathering pace . for more i'm happy to welcome did even him in the studio who has reported extensively from the middle east for us i are welcome good to see you good to be here so we know that there are 2 rival demonstrations to take place today in lebanon one for the president michel own and another against the entire government which will be getting underway fairly soon what are the choices that lebanon faces currently i think it's not an exaggeration to say that the choice is between sort of radical changes. historical change in lebanon's history and more or less
3:04 pm
a compromise and to understand this we maybe want to remind our viewers a little bit of lebanon's political system which is one of the most complex in the world in lebanon your religion or your sect is not just something that you practice in your private life it's something that really governs all aspects of public life and the government really reflects lebanon's sectarian diversity if you will the country has 18 recognized religious sects and all of them the constitution kind of guarantees for them to be part of the government somehow so parliament seats are allocated according to these different kinds of sects and also the 3 highest political offices are located according to the 3 biggest religious groups in lebanon so the prime minister has to be a sunni muslim the president a christian and the speaker of the house shiite muslim and right now the prime minister indeed did resign he went to the president and he gave him his or his resignation but the president says you know we're going to now throw the ball back
3:05 pm
to the prime minister and ask him to form a caretaker government and what the protesters are saying the ones that are opposing this move are saying you know what this is not radical enough what we want we want this entire 6 tarion political system to be gone completely if we just do this this is just a recycling of what we had before and that is just not good enough for them at this point so that's the kind of trees the protesters are facing today on the streets of lebanon gone completely and gone now yes they want that's why they were here however this is a very complex thing 11 must say that what the protesters that are against this move are saying they say they want early elections with a revised electoral law that does not follow the secretary and other question but one must say this is an incredibly this is a huge feat i mean this is a system that has been in place in lebanon goes all the way back to the ottoman empire was sort of enshrined in law by the french occupation and then it was reinstated after the civil war so it's definitely a huge feat but they want what they want now for the time being is a technical. caretaker government not one like the one that we had before under the

leadership of president prime minister is that of how you briefly what we saw in this piece was a lot of young people taking place in those demonstrations with d.j.'s present people dancing these are parties as much as they are protests what kind of role are young people playing in the political evolution of lebanon today you know i think one could go in the cliche and say you know lebanon is a country that knows how to throw a good party and certainly true but one protester told me you know i asked her i said you know what about this i mean even tripoli this is the conservative sunni north what's happening there you know she said you know this is a celebration of each other you know the lebanese people didn't have these options to just interact across sects on the street like this before and were meeting each other as a people we have to remember you know a lot of the people that are on the street they grew up after the civil war they don't remember why the sectarian system even exists and they don't really identify with it anymore and so there's no emotional attachment to having their government divided like that and they're out on the street trying to show that through
