Conservative, liberal, young, old, everyone's here

and they're all chanting in unison against their leaders.

I've been walking down this street from the BBC office... 00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:33.120 position:97% past the main church, down to Martyrs' Square where there's the Blue Mosque, 00:00:33.120 --> 00:00:36.760 position:97% and talking to everyone about this unison and how it feels for them.

For the first time in years, I feel proud to be Lebanese. 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.600 position:56% Seeing all of these people out here, I've never felt such unity. 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:46.080 position:97% There are some people who don't want these protests to happen. 00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:48.560 position:94% But we're just going to stay out here for as long as we can. 00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:52.200 position:98% I think the people of Lebanon are fed up from all the politicians 00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.160 position:88% and all the lying, and all the stealing, and everything. 00:00:55.160 --> 00:00:58.040 position:72% So I think, that's what makes us united today.

And I hope that it's going to last. 00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:05.240 position:97% You can't differentiate between a Shia Muslim or a Sunni Muslim or a Christian or a Durzi.

And this is what makes us stronger in this revolution. 00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:11.400 position:78% If it weren't like this, we would've fallen apart. 00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.720 position:97% But because our demands are the same, we are all hungry and want our rights,

this unites us. 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:22.000 position:97% Our minimal rights such as health treatment, education, that they listen to us 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.960 position:58% our rights are not being listened to. 00:01:23.960 --> 00:01:28.160 position:98% If we all remain hand in hand and we continue to take to the streets,

demonstrate and ask for our rights 00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:33.880 position:95% we will then remain a unified community and a successful one. 00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:38.800 position:97% Whatever the outcome is, whatever happens tonight and in the next few days 00:01:38.800 --> 00:01:40.880 position:59% this is always going to be remembered. 00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:43.880 position:98% The chants that people are saying, people are going to remember them.
