Doubts over government formation prevail in crisis-hit Lebanon – Roya News English

Two days after the formation of a new government, many Lebanese are doubtful that the government will be able to heal the wounds of a country suffering from an unprecedented economic and social crisis.

Friday, Lebanon witnessed the birth of the government headed by Najib Mikati, a wealthy politician who has previously headed two governments. 

However, the government, the formation of which was necessary to obtain international aid, was born after a 13-month political bickering period between traditional Lebanese parties, which makes the wider public doubtful that the formation will lead to any new systemic change.
