    The situation in Lebanon today is bleak. Carved out of the remains of the Ottoman Empire and subjected to years of colonialism-lite administration by France, its economy and infrastructure have been devastated by a long civil war, overlapping occupations by Syria and Israel, and corruption on a massive scale. Since 2019, Lebanon has been in the midst of a severe financial crisis, with widespread unemployment and hyperinflation. Now 80% of the population is poor and Lebanon is on the brink of becoming a failed state.

    And yet, JD Harlock, Poetry Editor at Solarpunk Magazine, who lives in Beirut, believes in solarpunk. Join us for this episode to find out how that can be and what day to day life is like in Beirut right now.

  2. Wir gedenken heute der vielen Opfer der #BeirutExplosion von 2020. Eine verheerende Katastrophe, die hunderte Menschenleben gekostet hat, und nicht aufgeklärt wurde. Wir fordern die libanesischen Behörden auf, Ermittlungen nicht länger zu verhindern und zu verzögern.
