We're joined by Anthon Elghossain for Episode 111 of The Beirut Banyan, and we discuss the lead up to the October 17 revolt and political and economic implications surrounding the ongoing uprising.

Anthony reflects on local demands for accountability and good governance, and offers perspective on consistencies and potential policy shifts from the United States towards Lebanon and the region.

Anthony is a lawyer, writer and non-resident fellow at The Middle East Institute.
