Deadly Gun Battle Rocks City Of Beirut, Lebanon During Protest(Photos) by Explorers(m): 5:41am On Oct 16, 2021
At least six people were killed and a further 32 injured after armed clashes erupted in Beirut during a protest by Militant Shia groups Hezbollah and Amal against the judge leading the probe into last year's explosion in the city's port.

Hezbollah and its allies claim the judge is biased, but the victims' families support his work.

No-one has yet been held accountable for the August 2020 disaster

The world is in choas...but it's pathetic that some people don't believe in prophecies.

No peace in the world, the only peace now is personal peace, the peace of the inner mind.

Despite this, Nigeria is still rated above Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq,Libya and many other countries as more terrorized, that is how low we are, all thanks to our money hungry politicians.
