Lebanese Protests

Posted on 3/16/2005 by Suzi

I was amazed at how many people turned out for the protests in Lebanon. Looking at these numbers on Chrenkoff, I’m even more amazed.

“First off, we’ve had the Hizbollah, pro-Syrian, pro-government rally, which according to various estimates attracted somewhere between 500,000 and 1 million people to the center of Beirut.

Now, we have an opposition, anti-Syrian, anti-Government rally, with anywhere between 800,000 and 1.3 million people in the streets.

Lebanon’s total population is 3.7 million.”
