Egal ob Tunesien, Chile, Sudan, Irak oder Libanon: Die Hintergründe von Massenbewegungen im globalen Süden werden auf EUropäischer und US-Regierungsebene meist auf Demokratisierungsbestrebungen der Bevölkerung gegen autoritäre Regime, Korruption und Misswirtschaft reduziert.

Beirut explosion: Trump to discuss aid response with Lebanese, world leaders

„We will be having a conference call on Sunday with President Macron, leaders of Lebanon, and leaders from various other parts of the world. Everyone wants to help!“ Trump tweeted Friday.
