Hundreds protest in Lebanon against new Prime Minister candidate

Description

In Lebanon, hundreds gathered in central Beirut yesterday to protest against new Prime Ministerial candidate, Samir Khatib. This comes more than a month after an endless wave of protests led the prime minister, Saad Hariri, to resign. The news of the possible nomination of Khatib, the head of a large contracting and construction company, sparked spontaneous demonstrations as protesters perceive him as being too close to the ruling elite.
