Saturday 14th February marked the fourth year since former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri's assassination in 2005. Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese filled the streets of Beirut and congregated in the Place des Martyrs in the downtown area. Lebanese politicians took the opportunity to address the crowds. I was among them. Here are the photos I took. The most incredible scenes were the convergence of thousands of people from each part of this divided city. A flow of people from East Beirut on one side and thousands more from West Beirut, all walking towards Martyr's Square. It was breathtaking.
