Tarek Bitar, the magistrate who wants to bring the political class to trial in Lebanon

The geography of the clashes that killed at least 6 people on Thursday morning and transformed the center of Beirut into a scenario of urban warfare tells the depth of the fault that threatens to trigger another political and security earthquake in Lebanon, a country torn apart by sectarian divisions. The clashes took place at the intersection of Ain Al Remmeneh, Chiyah and Tayouneh, along the Green Line, the axis of neighborhoods that were the scene of sectarian violence during the 1975 civil war.
