Another man, elderly, in Nabatiyeh saying it's insulting for them to be accused of being paid by US/Israel. He's saying one way for the government to avoid all of this mess is to meet the people's demands.

Incredible to see protesters from Zouk to Nabatiyeh to Sour/Tyre to Tripoli to Akkar repeating the same thing: we want the fall of the sectarian regime. It's working.

WhatsApp joke: people ask what the fall of sectarianism means. It means for example that the president can be Sunni and the PM can be Christian and the speaker of parliament can be Nabih Berri. (Berri has been speaker of parliament since 1992)pic.twitter.com/n7d3C6s7hb

Quite something that FPM supporters aren't even able to fill the square in front of the main courthouse (قصر عدل) as Aoun prepares himself to give his speech. The influence of these sectarian warlords is weakening.

Palestinian-Syrian artist in Tripoli drew this mural of a unified Lebanese hand with "Tripoli is the bride of the revolution" on it.

Aoun will talk soon. My educated prediction: Aoun: I will not resign Aounyyeh: BRAVO! Aoun: I will resign Aounyyeh: BRAVO! Aoun: I just had coffee, it was nice Aounyyeh: BRAVO!

Aoun's supporters now spreading Soros conspiracies. Who guessed eight days? I'm frankly surprised it took eight days. You know who else spread Soros conspiracies? Netanyahu supporters, including his own son.

As anyone who isn't a fanatic predicted, Aoun didn't say anything remotely connected to reality. It looks filmed in advance, and he spoke for 11 minutes only. (And the camera work is weird)

Another: Hariri said the same thing and we're still on the streets. What Aoun said is no different.

Again, not a single person (except some fanatics) is even remotely surprised. Michel Aoun had nothing to say. He looks disconnected, tired and (I'm sorry to say) old.

So congratulations to President Michel Aoun. If anything, he just guaranteed that the street protests will continue.

Yep. It was not live. Aoun isn't doing okay. https://twitter.com/Nizhsn/status/1187317797589794816?s=19 …

I promise you this is not a joke. Aoun's speech was filmed in advance. We have very good reasons to believe that he is not in good health, not even enough to speak live.

How do people even have the time to come up with these. Results of Aoun's speech: Reading: 9/10 Montage: 1/10 (all of these shared on Whatsapp. Not my art)

This elderly woman was hurt yesterday during the shabbiha attack in Nabatiyeh. She went back to the streets and is distributing flowers to the army that people offered her.

Noteworthy that a lot of the protesters, I think a majority, in Nabatiyeh are women.
