The French ambassador to Lebanon has announced on Sunday, that his country will take part in the investigation into the causes of Beirut port blast, which killed 154 people, injured, and displaced thousands.
"France will participate in the investigation into Beirut port blast," the French ambassador tweeted, stressing that his country's participation in the investigation process guarantees "speed" and "transparency".
It is worth mentioning that, Macron visited Beirut on Thursday, the first world leader to do so after the explosion, and promised the Lebanese people humanitarian aid would come but that profound political reform was needed to resolve the country’s problems and secure longer-term support.
On Saturday, the Lebanese protesters in Beirut have broken into three ministries, Foreign, Economy, and Environment, in central Beirut amid escalating clashes with the Riot Police over Tuesday’s huge explosion that left at least 158 dead.
The authorities have said they have now regained control.
Tens of thousands of protesters took to streets in Beirut, demanding the fall of the regime, but there has been violence, as police fired tear gas at stone-throwing demonstrators.
