Mustapha Adib, the Lebanese ambassador to Germany has been appointed as the new Prime Minister following the immense pressure from France. This came hours before the arrival of France President Emmanuel Macron, who has now asked Lebanese officials to swiftly form the government. While France's mediation has been crucial in reaching the consensus, the protesters continued to demonstrate against Adib, as they chanted 'no Adib' on Macron's arrival. Lebanon is severely hit by a financial crisis and the last government resigned following the devastating Beirut explosion.
