Lebanese cartoonists use their satirical art to poke fun at the country's political and economic ills with a growing audience since protests flare in October
On the edges of a protest in Lebanon's capital, 24-year-old cartoonist Mohamad Nohad Alameddine bites through sticky tape and plasters one of his political sketches to a side wall.
In public spaces, he and friends stuck up gags about failing electricity and trash management plans, as well as sketches mocking a political class perceived as corrupt. Wherever there was a protest, "I'd go down and stick up a related cartoon," says Alameddine, who signs his drawings as Nougature.In late October, the government stepped down, but a deeply divided political class has yet to form a new one.
"President Nazeeh headed a militia in the civil war and then became a political figure" after the 1975-1990 conflict, he says.
