'Beirut catastrophe': Lebanon's information minister quits

Al Jazeera, 09 Aug 2020
The calls for complete political reform in Lebanon are growing louder after the Beirut port explosion that killed at least 158 people on Tuesday.
Lebanon's information minister has become the first senior member of the government to resign since it happened.
Manal Abdel Samad says there's little hope for change.
Six MPs have now resigned. And the most powerful Christian leader, Maronite Patriarch Beshara Boutros al-Rai is urging the whole cabinet to quit.
