It’s easy to blame a leader specially when the core is corrupt (and that would be the people ) if lebanon stopped selling each other for a dollar it would be a good start, and more importantly stop the childish playground of sectarian blame. As we in the West consider you all Arabs
Seriously, he rails about a conspiracy theory that the whole world is against him, but he does NOTHING to help his case by getting reforms passed. Face it, NOBODY is going to give this country money without reforms and he is too weak to get things passed and only functions as a tertiary leader propped by up kizb and its allies. He has not shown any leadership on his own.
