Unrest in Lebanon: Day 4 in the Evening

This afternoon, ten enormous army tanks rolled up my street probably moving towards an area which is a mixed Sunni/Shia neighbourhood. I only got a photo of the last two vehicules.












This afternoon Siniora addressed the people of Lebanon and called on a dialogue with opposition. I watched him on local TV.












The Lebanese government and the opposition have agreed on a deal to end hostilities. They decided to allow the Army to move in and take back the control of Beirut. The Army then overturned the two previous government decisions by reinstating the pro-Hezbollah general head of airport security and by keeping Hezbollah's telecommunication network active.

Local TV is reporting that gunmen are pulling out of the streets. However, some clashes are still going on in Tripoli in the North of Lebanon.

I am therefore hopefull that things are actually going to calm down completely now and that the airport will reopen soon.
