Who Caused Beirut's Damage
After the Beirut Port explosion on August 4, 2020, questions arose regarding the responsibility for destroying half of the capital and whether the disaster resulted from administrative negligence and political corruption, or if it was caused by deliberate parties or an external conspiracy. More than six years have passed, and the truth remains unclear, with ongoing calls to reveal who allowed the hazardous materials to remain, who held decision-making authority, and the extent of responsibility of political and security institutions. The disaster demonstrated that the weakness of Lebanese state sovereignty, along with decision-making outside its legitimate institutions, led to a decline in the ability to protect citizens and opened the door to the absence of justice and truth. The article emphasized that understanding and identifying responsibilities—whether negligence, corruption, or conspiracy—is an essential necessity to prevent such events from recurring. It also highlighted that the absence of truth threatens the remaining trust in the state and the Lebanese entity.
