The Lebanese-British artist Mika denounced the “parody of justice” in Lebanon‘s reaction to the Beirut blast.
He remembered the promise made by resigned Prime Minister Hassan Diab that those responsible for the blast would be held accountable.
His words fell on the 9th-month anniversary of the traumatic event. Mika, born in Beirut, expressed shame in his birth country’s state that has led “paradise to ruin.”
“My country is dying and its children find themselves held hostage, paralyzed by misfortune, stunned by disasters: the port (explosion), the coronavirus, and the economic crisis.”
“My country is dying, and the international community turns a blind eye,” he said, as he called for action.
