After the closure of the Bourj Hammoud dump in 1997, the al-Naameh dumpsite was opened by the government in 1998. The al-Naameh dumpsite was planned to contain 2 million tons of waste for a limited period of six years at the most. It was designed to be a temporary solution, while the government would have devised a long-term plan. Sixteen years later al-Naameh was still open and exceeded its capacity by 13 million tons. In July 2015 the residents of the area, already protesting in the recent years, forced the closure of the dumpsite. The inefficiency of the government, as well as the corruption inside of the waste management company Sukleen in charge of managing the garbage in Lebanon, have resulted in piles of garbage blocking streets in Mount Lebanon and Beirut.[ 208]     (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bsharridistrictmountains.jpg)   (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Lebanon) (Mount Lebanon) Mount Lebanon is a mountain range in Lebanon.

In December 2015, the Lebanese government signed an agreement with Chinook Industrial Mining, part owned by (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinook_Sciences) (Chinook Sciences) Chinook Sciences , to export over 100,000 tons of untreated waste from (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beirut) (Beirut) Beirut and the surrounding area. The waste had accumulated in temporary locations following the government closure of the county's largest land fill site five months earlier. The contract was jointly signed with Howa International which has offices in the Netherlands and Germany. The contract is reported to cost $212 per ton. The waste, which is compacted and infectious, would have to be sorted and was estimated to be enough to fill 2,000 containers.[ 209]    Initial reports that the waste was to be exported to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Leone) (Sierra Leone) Sierra Leone have been denied by diplomats.[ 210]     In February 2016, the government withdrew from negotiations after it was revealed that documents relating to the export of the trash to Russia were forgeries.[ 211]    On 19 March 2016, the Cabinet reopened the Naameh landfill for 60 days in line with a plan it passed a few days earlier to end the trash crisis. The plan also stipulates the establishment of landfills in (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourj_Hammoud) (Bourj Hammoud) Bourj Hammoud and Costa Brava, east and south of Beirut respectively. Sukleen trucks began removing piled garbage from Karantina and heading to Naameh.

This is mainly attributed to the small scale of many farms, preventing the benefits of economies of scale.[ 267]    The ongoing economic crisis and devaluation of the Lebanese pound have also negatively impacted the agricultural sector, particularly through elevated costs for essential imports such as seeds and fertilizers.

His [((https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thongchai_Winichakul) (Thongchai Winichakul) Thongchai Winichakul 's)] study shows that the modern map in some cases predicted the nation instead of just recording it; rather than describing existing borders it created the reality it was assumed to depict. The power of the map over the mind was great:"[H]ow could a nation resist being found if a nineteenth-century map had predicted it?" In the Middle East, Lebanon seems to offer a corresponding example. When the idea of a Greater Lebanon in 1908 was put forward in a book by Bulus Nujaym, a Lebanese Maronite writing under the pseudonym of M. Jouplain, he suggested that the natural boundaries of Lebanon were exactly the same as drawn in the 1861 and 1863 staff maps of the French military expedition to Syria, maps that added territories on the northern, eastern and southern borders, plus the city of Beirut, to the Mutasarrifiyya of Mount Lebanon. In this case, too, the prior existence of a European military map seems to have created a fact on the ground.
