I was informed today that the population in Lebanon has decreased to 3.5 million this year knowing that we were around 4 million according to the statistics done in 1998.
So that’s a half of a million decrease within 10 years! However, you will not find that number huge if you take into consideration the following facts:
- $44 Billion in debt
- We have no president, and we don’t give a damn about it
- Geagea is out of prison
- Nasrallah declared a worldwide war
- Aoun is back from Paris
- Wiam Wahhab wants to fire rockets at Walid Jounblat’s bedroom
- Naser Qandeel is back on TV
- It takes a lifetime for Saad Hariri to make a speech
And the list goes on…
By the way, according to Wikipedia,Lebanon’s population is exactly 4,196,453 right now, and it might have increased by 1 or 2 while I am writing this post. I never knew somebody has done such an accurate study about us before!!
Oh and talking about wikipedia, check this out if you want to get some “real” data about Lebanon.
