Lebanese Protesters Beautifully Chorus A Beethoven Classic Amid Ongoing Protests
The biggest ever anti-government protests that swept across Lebanon have driven the country to a standstill continue.
From bank closures and roadblocks to calls for government resignations amid accusations of corruption, hundreds of thousands of citizens have gathered in Beirut and cities across the country in the, thankfully, primarily peaceful protests.
And among the 10 days of disruption, beauty has shone through.
The Lebanese people have shown grace as a powerful unit and this Arabic rendition of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy is simply beautiful
This is beautiful.

Lebanon is the magnificent example of coexistence and harmony among various faiths and sects.
