Lebanon: first demonstration against the sectarian system
Lebanon enjoys a democratic (parlamentarian) regime but people is forced to vote along religious/communitarian lines, keeping the country artificially divided internally that way and forcing a religious identity upon people. For those reasons Lebanese have gone out to the streets demanding the end of this system imposed by the colonial powers in the past and perpetuated by means of civil war and Zionist invasions.
