2019 Lebanese protests2019 Lebanese Revolt – (The mass protests in Lebanon have been taking place for over 26 days now and they call for the complete overruling of the ruling parliament. This qualifies it to be labelled as a revolt instead of a protest. This is the most agreeable title as some argue that labelling it as a revolution would be taking it a step too far.).

Protests During the third week of the Lebanese protest:

November 7: to celebrate women and their strong presence in this historical revolution, Lebanese singer, Carole Samaha in collaboration with the Lebanese newspaper: “Al Nahar”, changed the lyrics of the Lebanese national anthem: “Our mountain and our valley, they bring forth stalwart women and men”. This small but meaningful change in the lyrics, highlights gender equality in a country where women does not have equal chances as men in the society. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.187.90.120 (talk) 19:22, 12 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Not done. This doesn't seem to document a protest as the other entries in the timeline do. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 22:01, 12 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Request to add a full table with name and information of martyrs and incidents, a table of global solidarity events, and maybe a section on prominent arrests

edit

This is my first edit to a talk page so I'm sorry if this isn't up to protocol.

While the article's topmost table mentions that 5 civilians have died, only one (understandably) has a subsection on its own. A simple table like this would be beneficial:

Name Date Age Notes
فلان الفلاني 2000-01-01, during XYZ 50 notes
Other name Other date Other age

A table of protests in support would be nice, although it may be unnecessary. Now is the time to archive this info though before it fades into the internet.

EDIT: as for previous requests that highlight some notable events in the realm of gender equality during the protests, the achievements in this field may be worth a section as well.

As for the arrests I don't know how this would be done tastefully. I don't think it is fair to incriminate people that have not yet been ruled guilty or innocent, however there isn't always a reliable list of events such as notable arrests, whether generally considered lawful or not.

  Not done. It's not clear what you want to add exactly. You mention a table in the article, but the article currently has no tables, nor is it clear exactly what information you want to include in the table. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 18:48, 17 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Death Toll from Protests

edit

The death toll lists 7 people who died directly from the protests, but do all the other indirect deaths also count towards it? Do suicides linked to the protests also count? Which deaths count towards the death toll? Joseph Ruoc (talk) 03:51, 12 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'd say no because the suicides aren't caused by the protest they're caused by the economic crisis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Creemyice1 (talkcontribs) 10:43, 20 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

State of Protests

edit

While protests are still frequent and ongoing they aren't being referred to by the media as part of the "17 October Revolution" protests. In any case, the same themes have been echoed throughout all those protests (accountability, anti-corruption, non-sectarianism, justice, etc.) so they could be considered to be in a similar vain to the original October protests.

Basically protests have been an almost daily occurrence since the 17 October 2019 but in the past ~2 years, the turnout has decreased dramatically. For example, in 2023:

- https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanese-protest-anger-over-efforts-hamstring-blast-probe-2023-01-26/

- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/1/26/beirut-port-blast-judge-will-face-challenges-and-risks-lawyers

- https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanese-protest-record-low-value-local-currency-2023-01-25/

If the consensus is that the 17 Oct protests should be considered "inactive," it might be a struggle to determine an end date/year. RisingTzar (talk) 22:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
