REPORT: 'You Stink' activists dump rubbish near Environment Minister’s residence
'You Stink' anti-corruption environmental activists have piled up garbage near the residence of Environment Minister Mohammad Mashnouq calling for his resignation.      
 
In a statement issued on Thursday, 'You Stink' activists indicated that this step came in response to “a policy whereby the cabinet in general and Mashnouq in particular resort to hiding trash instead of proceeding with a waste treatment solution.”      
 
“This is only the beginning,” they added.        
 
Lebanon has been grappling with a waste crisis following the July 17 closure of the Naameh landfill. The cabinet pledged last year that the said landfill would be shut down and an alternative site would be found, however failed to live up to its promises.        
 
The piles of garbage rotting in the summer heat triggered nationwide outrage and serious health warnings.        
 
To get rid of waste, frustrated residents set fire to dumpsters and trash containers, further polluting the hot and humid air.          
 
The mess is a stark reminder of the cabinet crisis afflicting Lebanon, where politicians divided by local and regional crises have even failed to agree on where to dump the capital city's rubbish.
