BEIRUT: In Lebanon, President Michel Aoun designated Muslim politician Saad al-Hariri as prime minister to form a new government to tackle the worst crisis since the country’s 1975-1990 civil war.

Sunni leader Hariri’s last coalition government was toppled almost exactly a year ago as protests gripped the country, furious at Lebanon’s ruling elite.
