Lebanon's Confusion Over Daylight Saving Causes Reversal of Decision.

Lebanon's caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati has reversed his decision to delay winter clock changes by a month, after it sparked confusion and exasperation in a country already gripped by economic crisis. Mikati's plan to postpone Daylight Saving until April 20 was rejected by several churches and media organizations, and caused chaos in a population that woke up to two different timezones. The decision was initially thought to be introduced to line up with Ramadan, when Muslims abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. Lebanon is gripped by a political deadlock that has prevented parliament from electing a president since former leader Michel Aoun left his post in October.
