We discuss difficulties surrounding the list formation process, structural failures that have kept Lebanon's politics paralyzed and the building blocks necessary to reform and rebuild the state.

Our conversation includes addressing the issue of Hezbollah's sub-state security and weaponry, the limitations of the Taef Agreement and Citizen in a State's political journey.
