Lebanon, small Mid-east country mired in tragedies
BEIRUT (AFP) - Lebanon, a small multi-confessional country which endured a devastating 15-year civil war, has often been caught in the crossfire of regional conflicts. The tragic explosions at Beirut port on Tuesday (Aug 4) struck with the country mired in its worst economic crisis for decades, marked by the collapse of its currency and angry popular protests. Lebanon has had more than 5,000 cases of coronavirus, with 65 dead. The civil war raged between 1975 and 1990, with Lebanon under Syrian domination for two decades until its troops withdrew in 2005. Lebanese political institutions have long been paralysed by discord between pro- and anti-Syrian camps. In 2013, the powerful Shiite movement Hezbollah announced it was fighting alongside the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, further dividing the Lebanese political scene. Iran-backed Hezbollah is the sworn enemy of Israel, against which it fought a month-long war in 2006. The Syria conflict has sporadically spilled over into Lebanon, with several attacks rocking the capital Beirut and other regions. The most visible impact of the Syrian war in Lebanon, a country of around 4.5 million people, has been the influx of an
‘Slavery, Religion & Regime’ by Phillip J. Linden Jr., gets a new marketing campaign
HOUMA, La., Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In his 2019 dissertation, “Slavery, Religion & Regime” (published by Xlibris), Phillip J. Linden Jr., examined the role of slavery and slave trading in the founding of America and challenged readers to be critical and question society’s elitism. This year, Linden launches a new press campaign for the book to reopen a discourse on the systems of slavery in the United States and around the world. “Slavery, Religion & Regime” challenges readers to question the basis of a society founded on freedom for the elite and the subjugation and enslavement of natives and imported victims of slavery and slave trading. The purpose of the book is to establish a critical theological interpretation of the interplay among the significant political, economic and religious expressions of modernity in the founding of industrial societies, then and today. Drawing from 50 years of studying the topic, Linden sheds light on the violence and dehumanization process in colonial America, along with the killing of natives, which extends up to the present day.

Timeline of blasts in Lebanon
BEIRUT (REUTERS) - A huge explosion near the centre of Beirut killed at least 78 people, injured over 4,000 people and sent shockwaves across the Lebanese capital on Tuesday (Aug 4), shattering windows and causing apartment balconies to collapse, witnesses and security sources said. The blast occurred in the city's port area. Lebanon's interior minister said initial information indicated highly explosive material, seized years ago, that had been stored there had blown up. Here is a timeline of previous blasts in Lebanon since former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri was assassinated on Feb 14, 2005 by a truck bomb in Beirut.

Sensex, Nifty Seen Flat To Lower At Open
(RTTNews) - Indian shares look set to open a tad lower on Wednesday after the country recorded the highest count of fresh Covid-19 cases in the world for the second day running. India's daily death toll was also way higher than the fatalities reported in Brazil and the U.S, while the recovery rate among Covid-19 patients has risen to 66.31 percent. The Finance Ministry noted in a latest monthly update that the worst seems to be over for the Indian economy, but the recovery is going to be very fragile. Benchmark indexes Sensex and the Nifty jumped around 2 percent on Tuesday as the RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) began its three-day deliberations and a slew of encouraging economic data from Europe, China and the U.S. raised hopes for a quick economic rebound from the coronavirus pandemic.
