August 4th is coming in eight days.
To commemorate this SAD day, there will be a march and a ceremony in Beirut (https://tinyurl.com/yn5hprk5).
As reported in L’Orient Today, “the Beirut Port explosion claimed the lives of 235 people, injured more than 7,000 others and destroyed a significant part of the capital. Five years later, those responsible for the explosion — which involved huge amounts of ammonium nitrate improperly stored at the port — still have not been brought to justice” (https://tinyurl.com/yn5hprk5).
After coming across the short YouTube N video below, Bambi was curious about Lebanon’s new Justice Minister who seems to be sincere in his expressed feelings towards the families of the victims of the Beirut port explosion of August 4, 2020. She found his impressive bio on 961: https://tinyurl.com/ptsrn86h.
Sincere or not, five years after the Beirut explosion, will Beirut residents—and lovers— ever know the facts? Will anyone be held responsible for this surreal tragedy?
