On February 14, the assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri triggered a wave of grassroots demonstrations demanding an end to the Syrian occupation of Lebanon. These became known as The Cedar Revolution.
In April, EchoDitto COO Harish Rao spent twelve days equipping demonstrators in Beirut with a weblog and photofeed to chrionicle the Cedar Revolution at PulseOfFreedom05.org. He talks with EchoRadio about it all.
Soundtrack: Cheb Mami and Nancy Ajram-- gloriously cheesey music imported directly from Beirut.
