Is the story of al-Dalia’s fishermen over? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. Financial kingpins succeeded in dividing the fishermen, promising them compensation while bulldozers came to destroy another piece of #Beirut’s cultural heritage. Al-Dalia’s fishermen mourn the loss of their port but what more could they have done after no one came to their side? But all is not lost. Al-Dalia still has people willing to fight for it under the banner of the right to public space.
