TOPSHOT - Lebanese army soldiers remove protestors blocking the main road between the southern city of Sidon and the capital Beirut, on October 23, 2019 as demonstrations to demand better living conditions and the ouster of a cast of politicians who have monopolised power and influence for decades continue. - Tens of thousands of Lebanese protesters kept the country on lockdown, rallying for a sixth consecutive day to demand new leaders despite the government's adoption of an emergency economic rescue plan. Demonstrations initially sparked by a proposed tax on WhatsApp and other messaging apps quickly grew into an unprecedented cross-sectarian street mobilisation against the political class.
