Until I see real change which benefits the people (24h electricity for example?) I will not put any hope in the government of Lebanon.
For the people of Lebanon to have a better future, I believe in:
- Guerrilla economy: Struggling for continuing economic success despite all the restrictions, going around banks, etc. Maybe with some foreign help - I think that anyone going down that route can maybe find international support, but it is risky because this support can change pretty quickly.
- To control the development of the petrol extraction. This will be a tricky one but people of Lebanon must have a say and some control in this new development, otherwise there is a risk in the end that resources and revenues from petrol extraction will just end up being used to subjugate, control free people and threaten entrepreneurship and small businesses.
