(THE GUARDIAN) -- Lebanon’s besieged government has fallen, one week after a cataclysmic explosion destroyed Beirut port, with the country’s prime minister, Hassan Diab, claiming the disaster was the result of endemic corruption.
Diab announced the resignation of the government after more than a third of ministers quit their posts, forcing Diab himself to resign.
Diab, who has been prime minister for nine months, was due to notify the president, Michel Aoun, who was expected to accept his resignation.
