On 7^th day of May, began in the “Mazraa Corniche” youths gathering at Junctions leading to the main street, a voice bump has been thrown on those who had gathered at the “Gallery Shore corner” the cornerstone which will witness many acts of violence, which then would send correspondents from various channels of photocopied reports.

This was a report from “Ayman Raad” to I Witness.

Lebanese army and a relatively large number of its elements are trying to separate the two.

9^th morning of May was clearly tense, supporters of the opposition movement, assembly, movement of heavy motorcycles, audio bomb, a hero Future Movement supporters, release of the two chants, shipped airspace and access to exchanges with stones, which will fall on all the Lebanese army since the distance between the two parties beyond The ability of hands and muscles say the shooting.

Lebanese army called gas bomb, distinction and young men behind the re-assembly buildings complicity of sight of the army and the attention of young people in the other party.

Make the day and rising tension leading to the emergence of gunmen.
The ninth of May.

After a full day on the control of military opposition to the entire city of Beirut, tour the streets of Beirut: Barbour, Corniche Mazraa, Mar Elias, Patriarchate, Zareef, Sanai, Spears, Hamra, Caracas, Lighthouse, Rosha, Ain Al-Tina, and return to the Corniche Mazraa. Most streets in spreading the Lebanese army and the armed opposition at one time, between points separated a few meters only.

Photography is permitted on condition that guide the camera to the elements of the army and mechanisms in opposition to Ho.

9^th of May explain to me how one masked all the Lebanese people forget what happened in Beirut when it senses improvements atheist Ayaralamaechih tenth of the major opposition believes everyone, without distinction, he had been forced to Askeran locality does not want to stay in the streets of Beirut masked armed men as he says.

So it is not only a matter of the communications network famous for him, hoping a better life.

Patriarchate in the foot patrol of three masked gunmen not to the opposition does not find objection to portray their backs and followed their curricula. Frequent scene in that round, a scene made all the roads of rubble and provide iron and waste containers unloaded from the containers, and scenic, knocked out an identity card for the peaceful Ho opposition or elements of internal security and answered their questions unequivocally that are trying to discover the Greek or ask them explicitly.

At 9:30 at night until Round two and a half hours in the streets of Beirut, which were empty except for Security and the opposition and me.

11^th of May. Ho completed the withdrawal of the opposition in the vicinity of my house at least, the army returned to the points that had been vacated during armed confrontations. Civil disobedience is continuing, but no one is watching, it confirms a rebellion? And a civilian? And a constant? Army busy ensuring security.

Streets and intersections where most larger walk free in Beirut, people in the homes of resentment and hate, the sun rises, and news from other regions are burning fester.
