Lebanese anti-government protesters burn tyres amid clashes with security forces in the northern city of Tripoli late on April 27, 2020, following a demonstration over the country's deteriorating economy despite a coronavirus lockdown. - Lebanon is facing its worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war, now compounded by a nationwide lockdown to stem the spread of the coronavirus. The Lebanese pound has lost more than half of its value, and prices have soared.This is the case across the country, but Tripoli has been especially hard hit because more than half of its population had already been living at or below the poverty line. When mass protests erupted across Lebanon in October against perceived official graft and mismanagement, Tripoli fast became known as the "bride" of the street movement.
