Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1007 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY September 30, 2025: ‘Sports For Peace: Lebanon’s Brave Journey’ by ZUMA Press award winning photo-journalist MARWAN NAAMANI: Sport was another casualty of war in Lebanon. The Middle East’s country’s social fabric frayed under the weight of political divisions and economic despair. Sports offer a rare and powerful counterforce. They unite. They teach discipline, teamwork, and resilience. In the heart of Lebanon’s bustling cities, in the complexities of socio-political challenges and the strains of hosting a significant refugee population, a simple yet profound tool has emerged to bridge divides and foster unity through sports. Lebanon is witnessing a new era in sports, traditionally, sports have been dominated by men, but the emergence of Lebanese women as formidable athletes is challenging entrenched beliefs regarding gender roles. Sports have proven their ability to generate jobs, tourism, foster social cohesion and even rebuild fractured communities. Around the world, countries understand that investing in sports is not a distraction from development, it’s a catalyst for it. Lebanon, with its Mediterranean climate, passionate youth, and untapped talent, holds great potential for reconciliation and reconstruction through sports. Welcome to ‘Sports For Peace: Lebanon’s Brave Journey’

For weeks, demonstrators have gathered at this location, roughly 10 miles west of Chicago, to protest intensified ICE enforcement and harsh tactics. In recent days, agents on the ground and from the rooftop at the facility have employed pepper balls, rubber bullets, and tear gas to disperse the protesters.
