There's been no accountability in the massive Beirut port explosion for more than two years. But a new hope suddenly emerged late last month for families of the victims, when Judge Tarek Bitar reopened his dormant investigation into the blast, and into the leaders accused of letting it happen. Two days later, Lebanon's Prosecutor General Ghassan Oweidat – one of those accused – issued his own charges against Bitar. Is this now the nail in the coffin for the blast investigation, or can the victims' families still get justice?

The families of those killed in last year's catastrophic explosion in Beirut say they now fear for their own safety. It follows last week's violent protests in Lebanon against the investigation into the deadly blast. As political interference in the probe increases, the families are strengthening their calls for an independent, international investigation - something they say Australia can assist with. - Անցեալ տարուայ Պէյրութի պայթումի զոհերու ընտանիքները կ'ըսեն որ կը վախնան իրենց ապահովութեան համար, անցեալ շաբաթուայ մահացու դէպքէն ետք:

 In this new episode of Trouble with the Truth, Lana interviews Lebanese journalist Mohamed Kleit. They discuss the horrors that unfolded on the day of the explosion and the political and economic turnmoil that followed. Mohamed shares his own personal journey  and the struggles he faced in the aftermath of the blast.  On 4 August 2020, an enormous amount of ammonia nitrate that was stored in Beirut port exploded, resulting in over 200 deaths, 7000 injuries and leaving over 300 000 people homeless. The explosion set of economic shockwaves that reverberated long after the blast, coupling with the global pandemic to make the recovery incredibly challenging. One year on, victims and families are still seeking justice to no avail. The Lebanese government has failed to authorise a proper investigation with some politicians actively sabotaging the search for justice.  Mohamed opens-up about the PTSD that he still suffers from the day. He speaks about the difficulties of holding Lebanon's corrupt government to account over the explosion, the economic hardships that people are facing and the difficult choices he had to make in order to tell the truth. He is currently working as a freelance video-journalists as well as being a media coordinator for the Alternative Syndicate of Press Assembly.

Luna Safwan is an independent journalist based in Beirut and the host of the “Beyond Politics” podcast. Anthony Elghossain is a lawyer and contributing editor at New Lines, also based in Beirut. In this podcast with New Lines' Faisal Al Yafai, as the first anniversary of the deadly explosion in Beirut's port approaches, they discuss what it felt like a year ago before and after the blast; the challenges of reporting on a city that is both a global story and also home – and why living in Beirut sometimes feels like waiting for life to restart.

On 4 August 2020, Beirut witnessed one of the the biggest non-nuclear explosions the world has ever seen. Lebanon is enduring a severe and prolonged economic depression, which, according to the World Bank, ranks in the top 10, possibly top 3, most severe crises globally since the mid-nineteenth century. In addition, Lebanon has the largest refugees-to-population ratio, with over one million refugees from Syria, Iraq and Palestine. In this context, what does church and ministry look like? Amid chaos – power cuts, fuel and medicine shortages, runaway inflation, etc. - how can the churches and Lebanese Christians share the hope we have in Christ? And how can we pray for the churches and for Lebanon? Wissam Nasrallah, Chief Operations Officer of the Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development (LSESD), joins us from Lebanon to answer these questions. LSESD's vision is to see communities transformed and churches flourishing both in Lebanon and in the wider Middle East and North Africa region for the glory of God. For more information on the ministry of LSESD, and to read some of Wissam Nasrallah's reflections, visit: Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development https://www.lsesd.org/author/wissam-nasrallah/  and Arab Baptist Theological Seminary: https://abtslebanon.org/author/wnasrallah/  The show co-hosts are Joel Veldkamp, Head of International Communications for Christian Solidarity International (Twitter @JoelVeldkamp), and Wissam  al-Saliby, Advocacy Officer for the World Evangelical Alliance (Twitter @walsaliby).  Stay up-to-date with Didomi podcasts via Twitter @didomi_co and Instagram @didomi_co.
