Lebanese factions formed a new government on Friday, breaking a 13-month deadlock, APA reports citing France 24.
The new Cabinet of 24 ministers headed by billionaire businessman Najib Mikati was announced by the president's office, and later by the Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, Mahmoud Makkieh. Ministers were handpicked by the same politicians who have ruled the country for the past decades and whose corruption and mismanagement many blame for the country’s current crisis.
The new Cabinet is expected to oversee general elections scheduled for next year.
