power because they protect us there's still this feeling of this that that people are belong to their sect before they belong to their nation and that's why it's going to be very very hard for the independent candidates to really break this monopoly ok you've given us a very clear picture of the end of the the state of politics in lebanon today i'm just wondering about that the element of lebanese society that we mentioned earlier the youth who were quite the syphilis were they in mounting that the campaign against the piles of rubbish we saw in beirut and they managed to effect a certain amount of face one of these doing today and to these feel the density is determined completely by the sect by speaking sunni by being she'll be in christian . well yes this is the problem in lebanon it is a sectarian system of government seats in the government seats in parliament there are portions according to their sect and if anyone wants for example. services they go to the political party which are sectarian parties so people are you know they feel that they're up against a really a challenge and th
