Lebanon vote holds little hope for change despite disasters

Jad Ghosn, a journalist who recently decided to run in upcoming parliamentary elections with the leftist group Citizens in a State, records a video for social media, in Jounieh, north of Beirut, Lebanon, April 14, 2022. The May 15 nationwide vote 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. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
