Lebanon NEW government ends 13-month feud since Beirut port explosion

Billionaire and former PM Najib Miqati will head up Lebanon’s first government formed after a 13-month power vacuum that has seen the country slide into an energy crisis and political chaos.

The stand-off that developed after the devastating Beirut port blast has seen record numbers of emmigration deplete private and public sectors and the Central Bank unable to subsidise essential imports.
