We're back with Nasser Yassin for Episode 185 of The Beirut Banyan.
We discuss the necessity for grassroots organization when it comes to transitioning the protest movement into a long-term political force; identifying the "source of the problem" when it comes to implementing much-needed reforms; population hesitancy in pushing for a new social pact; and the immediate consequences of Covid-19.
Nasser is the Interim Director of the Issam Fares Institute at the American University of Beirut.
