Mixed Reactions To Hariri’s Return As PM

Lebanese politician Saad Hariri has officially been named as Prime Minister designate (again) after securing 65 votes in parliamentary consultations held earlier today. He is now set to form a government that is expected to implement radical reforms and get Lebanon out of the pit (LOL), because we simply never learn.

Needless to say, his reelection as PM has triggered mixed reactions. Here are some of them:

Saad el harriri served as a prime minister and achieved nothing. Why is he being chosen again? We are back to square one. This is a hopeless case.
