Those who thought the singer who entertained thousands last week in Martyrs Square was Lebanese are mistaken.
Indeed, Mika was born in Beirut to an American father and a Lebanese mother: Lebanese law does not allow Lebanese women to pass down nationality to their children.
So the brilliant artist who should be (and would like to be) representing our country abroad, cannot.

“Lebanese law does not allow Lebanese women to pass down nationality to their children.”
