A few days ago, the biggest news corporations around the world, including CNN and BBC, shared gruesome pictures of swarms and mountains of trash in the streets of Lebanon. For the last seven months, the Lebanese government has failed to provide an adequate solution to end the garbage crisis and thousands of Lebanese are taking to the streets to voice their utmost dissatisfaction with the piles of trash all across the country. Unfortunately, pictures of beautiful Beirut are now equated with piles of garbage. But we all know that Beirut is much more than that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11972\" style=\"width: 522px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter post-item__attachment\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/7TqF4\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11972\" aria-label=\"Beirut\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11972\" class=\" wp-image-11972\"  alt=\"Beirut  Image by Evan Bench via Flickr (CC BY 2.0) \" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" \/ src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/03\/beirut.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/03\/beirut.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/arabic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2016\/03\/beirut-350x263.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beirut<br \/>Image by Evan Bench via Flickr (CC BY 2.0)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Longing for somewhat better days in the past and looking towards a brighter future, I am sharing another beautiful song by the one and only: Fairouz.
