10 Ways To Split Beirut’s Municipality That Make More Sense

With discussions of the potential split of Beirut’s municipality surfacing, we decided to suggest 10 ways to properly and fairly split the city. 1. Shawarma Djej vs La7me It is impossible for these two groups to co-exist. 3 Zones: Beirut Djej, Beirut La7me, and Beirut Indecisive Cowards. 2. Every house is its own municipality Each apartment gets its own flag, president, and army. 3. Rainbow Method Every house gets to join its favorite color municipality. Beirut Red, Beirut Blue, Beirut Fuschia, Beirut Light Blue-Green… 4. Bei-touche and Bei-boule A historic divide that spans thousands of generations. It is time for Fatouche and Taboule fans to take arms and fight for their own independent Beiruts. 5. A Beirut divided by height One storey buildings are in Beirut I, 2 storey buildings are in Beirut II, parking lots are Beirut 0. 6. The Hummos-Mtabbal Wall We expect Beirut Hummos to destroy Beirut Mtabbal in the annual united Beirut foodfest. 7. The dog and cat republics of Beirut Let all the dogs and the cats in the city loose. Winner takes all. 8. Beirut From A to Z A to L names now belong to Beirut A, M to Z belong to Beirut B. 9. Zig-zag We let a toddler draw whatever they want on the map and go from there. 10. North-South East and West Beirut is overdone and so 1975. We propose that instead we all put on blindfolds and draw a line to divide the city between a North and South.
