This is a conversation with Nadim El Kak. He’s a researcher at the Lebanese Center for Policy Studies with a background in sociology and political science.

I wanted to have Nadim on after reading his Twitter thread on the second wave of the Lebanon protests, which you can find here.

Is Lebanon undergoing a second wave of protests? And how do they differ from the October 2019 ones?
