Ep.178 (Video): "The Baabda Declaration Revisited" by Mohamad Chatah

I read one of my father's previous blog posts, "The Baabda Declaration Revisited" for Episode 178 of The Beirut Banyan. Click to watch: https://youtu.be/_sdqC4TXiG8 And I reflect on the power of overcoming fear, championing free expression against all forms of intimidation, and looking back at a Declaration signed eight years ago yet never implemented, and perhaps the one attempted post-civil war national policy worth championing.
