Another Hariri counter!!!


Driving through Raouche (Beirut) I was surprised to see this today. Another sign digitally counting the days since former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was assassinated. The other one is on the main road from downtown Beirut into the Hamra area, it's quite well known. On the days approaching the 1000th day anniversary, we all wondered what would happen since at first the sign only had spaces for 3 numbers. A few days before 1000 they added the 4th slot for the "1". I guess the sign is counting the days  to show how many have passed without justice being served. Based on past events in this country they should be prepared to add a 5th, 6th, 7th, etc slot before justice will ever be served in Lebanon.
