Since July, Lebanon has been overrun with garbage on the streets, and while many people thought it would just blow over and the situation would go back to \u201cnormal\u201d again, it has only gotten worse. <br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/44075-250x120.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  As the situation progressed, people took to the street to voice their concerns; and what started out as the usual small groups of driven middle-aged men, quickly turned into huge protests of young, old, rich, and poor alike under the names \u201cYou Stink\u201d and \u201cWe Want Accountability\u201d.<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beirut.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/44075-1.png\" width=\"100%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  The scene could be confused with that of the March 8 or 14 protests from a few years ago, but with the distinction of its aim to unite instead of divide people. And while it\u2019s unclear whether the movement could snowball into a massive revolution, it\u2019s evident that some people have had enough.<br \/>  <br \/>  So, after an entire summer going to Iris and White like complete animals and barbarians (just a joke, relax everyone), we\u2019ve grown from the experience, much like students who build houses for the poor over the summer.<br \/>  <br \/>  We didn\u2019t think we could make it, but we did. We spent an entire summer without Skybar, we ignited a fire under the politicians&#8217; asses, we&#8217;ve taken an interest in our country &#8211; and for that we should congratulate ourselves.<\/big>    <figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image
