Over 300 people were injured as protesters clashed with security officials in Lebanon. With the country sinking into its worst economic crisis in decades, anger has boiled over at the ruling elite
KFARDEBIAN, Lebanon - It is a sunny day on Lebanon’s ski slopes after weeks of snowfall but, as the economic crisis bites, there is no sign of the traffic that would typically jam the road.
With views stretching out to the Mediterranean to the west and Syria to the east, Mzaar has some of Lebanon’s best ski runs. But several of the slopes have remained closed since the first heavy snow in December, reflecting demand. “This year it is looking less crowded, this year when we came on the road, traffic was less,” said tour guide Bassam Dalle. “It’s obvious, we all know why.”
