Protesters in Lebanon have set up new road blocks to vent anger over political inaction in the face of deepening poverty.

Road blocks as a form of protest have become a near daily occurrence in the country and, demonstrators have again cut off some roads in the northern city of Tripoli and the eastern region of Bekaa.

Some protesters have called for a revival of the nationwide street movement of late 2019 that demanded the removal of Lebanon’s entire political class, widely seen as incompetent and corrupt.

The country has been stuck in economic crisis, which has brought surging unemployment and a surge in price of goods while the currency has plunged to a new low to the dollar on the black market.
