Reopening roads, universities and schools in most areas of Lebanon

On October 31, schools, shops and roads were reopened and calm prevailed in many areas of Lebanon, while some areas have witnessed limited protests as part of the popular movement that has been going on for two weeks due to the poor living conditions.

According to the Lebanese National Information Agency, public and private schools and universities have opened their doors to students in Nabatieh and its region. The commercial markets have opened their shops too and work is proceeding normally in the Prime Ministry.

Normal life has returned and roads have been opened in Baalbek and other areas, while the Lebanese army is patrolling at the entrances and exits of main and secondary roads which are opened to citizens.

In the meantime, some Lebanese areas witnessed limited protests, with sit-ins and bandits in Akkar and al-Chouf.

The Lebanese army leadership on Wednesday called on the demonstrators to open the closed roads to restore normalcy in the country at a time when Lebanese President Michel Aoun accepted the resignation of the government and asked it to conduct work until a new government is assigned.
