Lebanon’s protest movements continued to defy the country’s authorities this week, striking out in a new direction by occupying part of the environment ministry on Tuesday.

The movements are diverse, with “You Stink” demanding that the government arrange for garbage collection and “We Want an Accounting” seeking a complete reformation of the republic in a secular direction.

Other demonstrations this week demanded jobs for youths and an end to the privatization of public spaces and beaches through underhanded deals.
