More grief, poverty and pain for Lebanon with a massive explosion leveling much of Beirut, leaving thousands dead, injured and homeless!  How does this happen? We demand answers.

Now is the time, more than ever, to ask the President of the United States of America, Mr. President Donald J. Trump, all world leaders, along with Congress, the United Nations, the American media and all media throughout the world, to seek the truth, to deliver justice for the Lebanese people. 

An international team must convene to investigate how such dangerous chemicals were permitted to lie neglected in a warehouse for years that lead to such a horrific and devastating explosion. Those responsible must be brought to justice before an Independent International Court.

Let independent investigators led by the United Nations, discover the truth behind this massive explosion.

Also we need the help of the United Nations, to supervise an election for new leaders that will govern with justice, for the will of the people, so that they may live productive, peaceful and happy lives.

As you know, The Lebanese live in risk and experience untold needless suffering; how much longer does this go on until the Lebanese politicians are held accountable for the destruction and corruption of the entire country of Lebanon, the city of Beirut and its people going back to 1969?  

Justice, Reform and Peace for Lebanon is needed NOW. 

We, the people, seek JUSTICE and demand ANSWERS.
