The migration movement from Lebanon is getting stronger. In the last four months alone, about 230,000 civilians have left Lebanon and it is not going to go down.
The rate of demand for passports stands at about 7,000 per day compared to about 300 the day before the crisis began in 2019. According to the data, the vast majority of immigrants are young. About 40% of those with academic credentials have already left Lebanon.
The wave of immigration stems from the unstable political situation and the economic catastrophe that is reflected in the lack of jobs.
Unsurprisingly, those who are least concerned about the phenomenon are those corrupt politicians at the top who have degraded the country to its current state. They understand well that the departure of the young people neutralizes the "time bomb" of the popular protest since the young people are usually the driving force of the demonstrations.
