Perhaps to some the description of Tripoli as a "hellhole" would be granting it a kindness it does not deserve. Its recovery from the Civil War and subsequent explosions seems to be a more reticent one compared to Beirut. The bullet riddled buildings are still coated in grime, the school children I trailed behind on my early morning walk drop behind them in a sadly familiar fashion the candy wrappers and potato chip bags as soon as the last chip entered their mouths.
