Five years after the Beirut blast, the areas hit hardest are in varying stages of recovery.

As the city continues to move on, those tasked with preserving Beirut’s heritage acknowledge that the blast may have brought attention and funds that weren’t present before, but now, five years on, there are new and ongoing obstacles that must be addressed.

On , we face a choice: give Lebanon’s young people the tools to build a united, sovereign, and economically strong country — or watch them take their talent elsewhere. The future isn’t “someday.” It’s here, now, in their hands.

Lebanon needs a self-sustaining economy that rewards ambition, and a security framework that protects sovereignty and stability. This means creating opportunities at home so that young people see a future worth investing in. On this International Youth Day, we are reminded that the challenges are great — but with our youth at the forefront, the possibility of a Lebanon worth staying for remains within reach.

It may have been the most pivotal period in changing the fortunes of Lebanon, definitely in the last 30 years, and perhaps in all my lifetime. The past eight or nine months have turned our local world on its head, militarily, economically, and politically.
We have suffered continued violations of our sovereignty and deep disregard for the principles of peace. We have witnessed, without being able to put any stop to them, tides of airplanes, drones, and missiles cross our skies with the most ill of intents.
