Hundreds of followers of Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Saad Hariri gathered in the northern city of Tripoli on 25 January for a 'day of anger' called to protest his possible replacement by a candidate favoured by the fundamentalist organization Hezbollah. Followers of Hariri's Future movement, carrying Lebanese flags and pictures of the premier, arrived al Nour Square, chanting 'We will not accept a coup against Hariri by Hezbollah and their allies.' Hariri's government collapsed on January 12, after Hezbollah and their allies resigned from the cabinet, plunging the country into a political crisis which many fear might lead to civil strife.
