14 beats 8


i didn't think they'd pull it off. it probably doesn't won't change much in terms of seats. but it is a symbolic victory.

lebanon is such a weird country. for a place with so many problems, more factions and shifting alliances than anyone can possibly keep track of, and a long history of civil war, the country's relative wealth and ability to pull of democratic elections really is remarkable.
