Le bureau de Beyrouth est responsable de la couverture du Liban et de la Syrie, deux pays au cœur de l’actualité régionale et souvent mondiale. Le premier à cause d’une crise politique et économique sans précédent qui a commencé il y’a plus d’un an et qui enfonce le pays de plus en plus dans le gouffre et le pousse vers un avenir incertain. Le deuxième à cause d’un conflit qui, s’il connait un répit depuis quelques mois, n’est pas encore fini et a installé le pays dans une crise économique et sécuritaire potentiellement explosive.
