Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in Lebanon on Saturday, to mark the first anniversary of a non-sectarian protest movement that began on October 17, 2019.

Although it has rocked the political elite, the movement has yet to achieve its goal of sweeping reform, activists told FRANCE 24.
