Lebanon vote holds little hope for change despite disasters

A giant electoral billboard for the upcoming parliamentary elections, hangs on an abandoned building, in Beirut, Lebanon, April 11, 2022. The nationwide vote on May 15 is the first since Lebanon's economy took a nosedive and an August 2020 explosion at Beirut's port killed more than 200 and destroyed parts of the capital. Lebanon's various disasters have fueled anger at Lebanon's political elite, but few see any hope that elections will dislodge them. Arabic reads: "They displaced your children, vote against them."
