Lebanon’s Pro-Syria Government Is Dissolved After Protests

“The resignation of the Karami government represents an opportunity for the Lebanese people to have a new government that is truly representative of their country’s diversity.”

The dissolution of the government may have been the easiest of the opposition’s goals, other analysts say, warning that Syria’s response remains unclear.

“It’s just a first success for the opposition,” said Michael Young, an analyst and journalist based in Beirut. “You have to watch out there isn’t a military government or some kind of martial law that takes over.”

“They now have to sit at the table and negotiate with each other, or else the country will go to ruin.”
