Lebaneseb> Civilb> War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lebaneseb> Civilb> War (1975–1990) had its origin in the conflicts and political compromises of Lebanon's colonial period and was exacerbated by the nation's changing demographic trends, Christian and Muslim inter-religious strife, and the involvement of Syria, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Lebaneseb> victims of kidnapping and wartime "disappeared" are less talked about, but number in the tens of thousands.
The agreement stated that "the state of war between Israel and Lebanon has been terminated and no longer exists." Thus, the agreement in effect amounted to a peace agreement with Israel, and was additionally seen by many Lebaneseb> Muslims as an attempt for Israel to gain a permanent hold on the Lebaneseb> South[9].

Lebanon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lebaneseb> civilb> society enjoys significantly more freedoms than elsewhere in the Arab world.
Lebaneseb> law does not provide for Civilb> marriage (although it recognizes such marriages contracted abroad); efforts by former President Elias Hrawi to legalize civilb> marriage in the late 1990s foundered on objections mostly from Muslim clerics.
The 1975-1991 civilb> war seriously damaged Lebanon's economic infrastructure, cut national output by half, and all but ended Lebanon's position as a Middle Eastern entrepot and banking hub.

The Civilb> War

The battle for Tall Zatar was the final showdown of the Lebaneseb> Civilb> War.
A narrative of the Civilb> War is therefore more a translation of this vocabulary of suffering and pain than a chronology of campaigns.
Indeed, Syrian foreign minister Abdul Halim Khaddam reportedly warned Lebaneseb> politicians that the Lebaneseb> Army was capable of uniting its ranks, staging a coup d'état, and imposing a military dictatorship.

The PLO and the Lebaneseb> government reactivated joint meetings with the Higher Political Committee for Palestinian Affairs in Lebanon [in abeyance since the start of the civilb> war] to resolve a number of procedural and legal issues regarding Palestinians resident in Lebanon.
They were also angered by his support for the Lebaneseb> Arab Army, the formation of which they saw as a serious blow to their attempts to stabilize the Lebaneseb> situation.
To underline the seriousness of its demands and further increase the pressure on the Palestinian movement and Lebaneseb> government to comply, the IDF responded to two cross-border shelling incidents against Nahariya in November with massive artillery and air attacks against villages in the south.

Exiled Lebaneseb> General: Civilb> War Caused By Foreign Interference

Aoun said that although Lebanon had a pluralistic society, the country could have avoided a civilb> war in 1975, if it weren't for the Arab, particularly the Palestinian and Syrian interferences in domestic affairs.
"In fact, the Lebaneseb> war was transformed in 1975 to a Lebaneseb>-Palestinian war, in 1976 to a Lebaneseb>-Syrian war in Beirut, in 1978 and 1982 an Israeli-Palestinian war in the South to end into a Lebaneseb>-Syrian war in 1989 and 1990," Aoun said.
BEIRUT -- Lebanon's domestic divisions, including the 15-year civilb> war, were not caused by the inability of 19 sects to coexist but by regional interference, said former army commander General Michel Aoun Friday.

Meanwhile some politicians said the release meant a remnant of Lebanon's civilb> war had been resolved.

Lebaneseb> Civilb> War 1958

The 1958 Civilb> War was instigated by Lebaneseb> Muslims and Druzes who were inspired by the February 1958 unification of Egypt and Syria and agitated to make Lebanon a member of the new United Arab Republic.
The revolt almost became a religious conflict between Christians and Muslims...
Pro-Nasser demonstrations grew in number and in violence until a full-scale rebellion was underway.

Time To Commemorate The End Of Lebaneseb> Civilb> War By Robert Fisk

That Lebanon's war did not restart with Hariri's murder is a sign of the people's maturity and of their wisdom, especially the vast sea of young Lebaneseb> who were educated abroad during the conflict and who do not - and, I suspect, will not - tolerate another civilb> war.
The conflict was then called the "War of the Other" - of the foreigners, not of the Lebaneseb> who were actually doing the killing.
On reflection, I think it probably is. The Lebaneseb> have spent the past 15 years in a political coma, refusing to acknowledge their violent past lest the ghosts arise from their mass graves and return to stir the embers of sectarianism and mutual suffering.

BBC - h2g2 - Lebanon 1958

The 1958 civilb> war in Lebanon was instigated by Lebaneseb> Muslims who were inspired by the February 1958 unification of Egypt and Syria and wanted to make Lebanon a member of the newly formed United Arab Republic.
The role of the Marines, in a situation described by the U.S. Department of Defense as "like war but not war", was to support the legal Lebaneseb> government against any foreign invasion, specifically from Syria.
Nevertheless Shihab's reputation for evenhandedness was enhanced by his refusal to commit the army to ending the civilb> war, and he was elected to succeed Shamun as President.
