Explanation:

The Lebanese protests that took place in 2011 were influenced by the Arab Spring. The protests' principal purpose was to ask for a political reform regarding the existence of confessionalism in Lebanon. The protests began in early 2011 and they remained until the end of the year.

In terms of politics, Lebanon is considered a parliamentary republic that is regulated by confessionalism, in which the highest offices are granted for  representatives who belong to specific religious communities. According to the constitution, people have the right to modify their government, but there was a civil war from the mid-1970s until 1992 that avoided that people could exercise their political rights.
