October 2019 marked the beginning of a turning point in the life of the Lebanese. It all started as nation-wide protests but what no one knew it was just the beginning; the beginning of a national revolution but also the trigger of an enormous avalanche of misfortunes and disasters. Nowadays we talk of the “Lebanon before October 2019” versus the “Lebanon after October 2019”. A huge discrepancy was installed between these two “Lebanon-s”. What used to be known as the “leading light of the East”, the “center of attraction of the MENA region”, became buried under many calamities. The country and its people were forced to face political corruption and an unprecedented financial crisis and economic recession, in a context of COVID pandemic, regional instability and continuous terrorist threat.
