Mass protests swept across Lebanon shortly after the government announced new tax measures on 17 October.

Some of the key demands of protesters:

- An end to government corruption
- An end to the sectarian political system
- The recovery of stolen funds and holding the corrupt accountable
- Fair tax and financial procedures

Power of women in Lebanon
The Lebanese national anthem at the Riad Al Solh in Beirut was expanded with the words "The Women" by the artist Aziza.

"Let's light a candle for the strength we've shown and the resilience that will never die, bring a candle and your peaceful prayer and let us combine all our strengths to enlighten the Martyrs' Square."

Original Anthem
All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
Our valor and our writings are the envy of the ages.
Our mountain and our valley, they bring forth stalwart men.
And to Perfection we devote our words and labor.

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country

Our Elders and our children, they await our Country's call,
And on the Day of Crisis they are as Lions of the Jungle.
The heart of our East is ever Lebanon,
God has preserved him until the end of time.

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country

The Gems of the East are his land and sea.
Throughout the world his good deeds flow from pole to pole.
And his name is his glory since time began.
The cedars are his pride, his immortality's symbol.

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country
