Nicosia [Cyprus], July 19 (ANI): Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri, who was tasked with forming a government in the country last October, after presenting on Wednesday his proposed cabinet to President Michel Aoun-which Aoun rejected once again for the 19th time in a row-announced that he was abandoning the whole effort, exclaiming: "God help the country".
Now Lebanon, which is on the throes of a social explosion and in a dire economic situation, with acute shortages of basic goods, like medicines, electricity, fuel, and baby formula, is facing total collapse and may soon become a failed state.
