[Lebanon] Protests: Protest with intervention

On 9 April 2025, following their protest in Tripoli, scrap traders and exporters blocked the entrances and exits of the Port of Tripoli as well as all roads leading to El Mina (Tripoli, North). The demonstration was against the Governor of North Lebanon's decision to seal all scrap yards around the city. Around 15,000 workers are distributed across scrap yards in the city. The LAF and police forces were deployed at the scene and managed to partially open the roads.
