Who else gonna miss seeing Soleimani's face upon arrival in Beirut?

The caretaker tourism minister confirmed to @JoudSally that he asked Hezbollah and Amal to remove billboards on the airport road depicting party icons so ones promoting tourism go up in their place. A Hezbollah spox said the party would be cooperative.

Love him or hate him, Charbel Nahas (and MMFD) heavily influenced Lebanese political discourse and brought a novelty of ideas and electoral approach to this most recent cycle. It went poorly for them at the voting booth, but was winning seats Nahas’ point? Our MMFD post-mortem:

[L'Orient Today @lorienttoday]

MMFD, led by the polarizing Charbel Nahas, failed to obtain a single seat in Lebanon’s recent parliamentary elections. @farahkanaan and @waeltaleb23 take a look at what went wrong in this post-election post-mortem: https://t.co/IRh5RYtAcZ

One of these guys is an Algerian citizen? And accused of participating in the Tayyouneh shootout in October? Extremely weird.

@farahkanaan Nope, not interested in finding out what that is in the slightest

@no_homsi @rjsalame @lorienttoday Me too honestly!

[Adam Muro 🍞 @adamkmuro]

A discrepancy first discovered and raised with the Interior Ministry by @rjsalame @lorienttoday. Proud of us for this one

[Sunniva Rose @Sunniva_Rose]

Good morning, America. The day of reckoning has arrived. I have somehow managed to get the day off, but will be following all the Lebanese election day madness on @lorienttoday's live blog, and so should you!

Really great piece by @sewella elucidating and enumerating (to the extent confirmable) the near-universally employed practice in 🇱🇧 of "campaigning" via palm-greasing. Full of fun anecdotes too, like the foundation of one powerful MP giving away makeovers

Good roundup in here of everything significant from the two days of ex-pat voting that occurred this weekend. Very useful if, like me, you got a stomach flu on Friday and watched Lord of the Rings all weekend instead of reading the news

Foreigner, AirPods in & wearing athletic shorts, walks into my bank this AM lugging a very heavy-looking rolling suitcase, immediately gets escorted to the back by a big dude. Door fails to close, I see what looks like a shit ton of currency wrapped in plastic 😅 #Lebanon #banks
