Supporters of Christian leader Michel Aoun, holding Free Patriotic Movement and Lebanese flags, celebrate the election of the new President Michel Aoun, in Beirut, Lebanon, Monday, Oct. 31, 2016. Lebanon’s parliament on Monday elected Michel Aoun, an 81-year-old former army commander and strong ally of the militant group Hezbollah, as the country’s president, ending a more than two-year vacuum in the top post and a political crisis that brought state institutions perilously close to collapse.
