It is not the smell of tons of dumped waste that the Lebanese state has yet to find a solution for. It is not the burned garbage releasing yet more toxic substances into the slowly decaying nature and the lungs of the people living in the country.
It is not the stench of incompetence and corruption of the still ruling, ruling class. It is not the stench of the banks who have been draining the economy for decades, racking massive profits while people's economic conditions deteriorate.
Nor is it the stench of the useless dam project approved in the Bisri valley despite the ecological catastrophe that it will undoubtedly bring, and the potential destructive earthquakes it could trigger.
