Lebanon's Maze to Opportunity
As 13 months of war come to an end, and over 1.2 million Lebanese displaced make their way back to their devasted towns and villages, the relief at the end of this latest round of conflict is mixed with cautious hope that perhaps a pathway out of these repeated rounds of war and the collapse of governance and economic institutions is possible.

Hezbollah Has Weakened Iran
It’s finally over. After 14 months of fighting, including the worst the country has seen in decades, the guns of Lebanon have fallen still. Nothing, of course, is certain: the Israel-Hezbollah agreement may yet flounder, and both sides have already violated some of its terms mere hours into its 60-day runtime. Yet the ceasefire continues to hold, and that matters. Shaken to its core, its leaders dead and its infrastructure shattered, Hezbollah is no longer the Lebanese leviathan. Rather, the US-brokered deal mandates the government in Beirut to fill the gaping void Hezbollah leaves behind.

Prada Group Announces Fur-Free Policy
The Prada Group announced last week that it will no longer use animal fur in its designs or new products, starting from SS2020 Women’s collections.
The inventory will be sold until quantities will be exhausted.
In collaboration with the Fur Free Alliance (FFA), a coalition of more than 50 animal protection organizations from over 40 countries, the Prada Group announcement follows positive dialogue between the luxury brand and FFA members, LAV and The Humane Society of the United States.
“The Prada Group is committed to innovation and social responsibility, and our fur-free policy – reached following a positive dialogue with the Fur Free Alliance, in particular with LAV and the Humane Society of the United States – is an extension of that engagement,” said the artistic director of the fashion house, Miuccia Prada.
“Focusing on innovative materials will allow the company to explore new boundaries of creative design while meeting the demand for ethical products," she noted.
“The Fur Free Alliance applauds the Prada Group for going fur-free”, said Joh Vinding, Chairman of the Fur Free Alliance. “The Prada Group with its brands now joins a growing list of fur-free brands that are responding to consumers’ changing attitudes towards animals.”
“The Prada Group’s decision to go fur-free is consistent with the new concept of ethical luxury and meets the expectations of new consumers who are more careful in choosing sustainable products that respect the environment and animals,” said Simone Pavesi, manager of the Animal Free Fashion Area for LAV.
“With the Prada Group’s fur-free announcement, one of the biggest names in fashion just became a leader in animal welfare and innovation for generations to come,” said PJ Smith, director of fashion policy at The Humane Society of the United States.
