On Tuesday October 29 at 4:00 pm, the Lebanese Prime Minister Saad el Hariri announced the resignation of the government, after thirteen consecutive days of unprecedented cross-sectarian and leaderless nationwide protests. As the streets erupted with joy, the first victory of the “October Revolution” did not mark its end. While rebuilding their camp in Martyrs’ Square, destroyed only few hours earlier by the partisans of the Amal Movement and Hezbollah, the peaceful protesters vowed to remain on the streets and build new foundations for their country.
