Martyr's Square, Lebanon

Marty’s Square is near the spot of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri’s assassination, widely believed to have been performed by Syria. Soon after his death, over one million Lebanese –in a country of only 4 ½ million- protested the continued occupation by Syria in the streets. With additional pressure from France and the US, Syria promised to withdraw before the elections. Becky is Sarah’s former college roommate doing PhD research in the country.
