On the 20th day of the national uprising, the Lebanese Army opened main roads across the country Tuesday, after protesters had continued to block them in a bid to pressure politicians into quickly forming a technocratic government. While some main roads across the country were opened, protesters in other locations refused follow suit. Soldiers clashed with protesters refusing to open the highway in Zouk Mosbeh before noon, resulting in numerous detentions.
