Many residents in Beirut today are questioning the efficiency of the latest surge in security measures across the city, claiming that while there has been a very public display of force, little is being done by the authorities to build trust with residents.

Protesters have been staging a sit-in near the Naamed-Ain Drafil landfill since last week, blocking access to the site in an attempt to attract public attention on the environmental and health impact of the landfill, which hosts an estimated 15 million tons of trash. Lebanese Internal Security Forces arrested one of the leading activists, Ajwad Ayyach, on charges of inciting protests. read more

Ashraf Rifi (Harriri crew), the former head of the Lebanese Internal Security Forces, issued a statement today saying that Tripoli is proud of its sons who are on the front and that Tebeneh is in a state of self defense. The 8 of march, pro-Syrian regime/Hezbollah block has always accused Rifi of supporting the fighters in Tebeneh and creating a battle front whenever Harriri felt some political pressure. The statement he issued today leaves no doubt that he had a role in keeping the Jabal Mohssen/Bab el Tebeneh front alive.
