Beirut, un anno dopo

Wednesday, 04 August 2021 20:16

È passato un anno dall’esplosione che ha distrutto buona parte del porto della città di Beirut, e che ha messo in ginocchio l’economia del già fragile paese medio orientale. Vediamo ora quale è la situazione nel paese dei Cedri, nell’anniversario di questo tragico evento.

Immediatamente dopo l’esplosione sembrava che il Libano fosse tornato ad essere una delle priorità nelle agende delle cancellerie e dei ministeri di mezzo mondo. Con la visita di Macron nella capitale libanese si era sentita tangibile la possibilità di una rapida ripresa. Non solo dal punto di vista economico ma anche sociale, politica e istituzionale.

The incident at the Port of Beirut this week cannot be considered as just another disaster, like many others that occur daily in the Middle East. Not only because of the loss of life, damage and economic impact, but also for the other consequences that the incident will lead to. 

The accident occurred at a very particular and delicate point in the history of Lebanon. The country is in the grips of an economic crisis, as a consequence of a policy of isolation and sanctions imposed by international actors, primarily the United States, targeted at draining the financial resources of Hezbollah. Prior to the explosions at the Port this week, the most important problem facing the Lebanese government was the economic crisis and its potential for social and political instability. The situation on the ground in Lebanon over the last has been dominated by growing discontent amongst the population as a result of an ongoing lack of essential services and development opportunities, along with an increasing assumption of corruption amongst the political class.
