also been making their voices heard thousands gathered outside beirut to show solidarity president michel i would who's also under pressure to go. d. to be reporter abraham how's that reported extensively from the middle east and can guide us through what's happening. so pro and establishment protestors on the streets at the moment what sorts of choices is lebanon facing well lebanon right now is at a sort of crossroads right i mean the protesters went out on the streets they were just demanding the end of corruption's and. more jobs and things of the like they were really calling for a radical change in the political system that governs lebanon as a whole now lebanon has one of the most complex political systems in the world it's ruled by something called the political sectarianism so it's by all means a democracy but sectarian political sectarianism. implies that or requires that

the country 18 religious sects are somehow involved in some sort of power sharing agreement and this translates to allocations of seats in parliament but also in the 3 highest political offices in the country that is the presidency the prime ministership and the speaker of the house and these are divided among the 3 major religions now the prime minister did indeed resign but that this done that does not mean that the system itself has changed so the president accepted there is a commission but also said ok now you go and you start the caretaker government to we have new elections and then you and a new government and some process are saying hey wait a 2nd this is the news nothing has changed we're back at square one what we want now is a technocratic government not from the political elite why don't we do new elections that are that do not adhere with this sectarian political allocation and so this is really the choice now it's either they start to say stay in the streets hold their ground. and for more radical reform or this there's this kind of reform that the

president is now asking for a new government and now some people are saying ok let's give him a chance maybe this will lead to something and some are saying no we don't trust these faces they've been within the country for 30 years and that's more than enough ok you say that every rule in the country for 30 years so why are these protests happening now i think you know we've seen these protests and they really dominated by a much much younger generation that i think you know grew up in the post civil war lebanon and you know this political sectarianism has very very deep roots in lebanon's history it all goes all the way back to the ottoman empire was put into law by after the french occupation but was reinstated after the civil war to ensure that the different political religious groups in lebanon can live together and that this power sharing can ensure peace but these young people all they have from the this power sharing or all they've seen from this power sharing set up is corruption lack of employment and they don't really identify with this kind of division of
