  • Lebanon: Vigil Insight Economic and Political Situation Alert 18 June 2021
    Lebanon: Vigil InSight Economic and Political Situation Alert 18 June 2021 Twenty nations agree to provide increased aid to “suffering and hungry” Lebanese army suggesting institutions are on the brink of collapse. KEY CONCERNS FOR AID AGENCIES WORKING IN LEBANON ● There is a SIGNIFICANT risk that continued public protests could evolve into food riots, and already rising crime will increase as low income groups struggle to feed themselves and many of the more powerful profit from the crisis. ● Traffic disruptions due to road closures have also been reported in Tripoli city. Road-blocking protests are LIKELY to continue in the near term and could escalate, especially after dark. Security forces may use tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse crowds and reopen obstructed roads. (see also Aid Security Risk in Lebanon) OVERVIEW Incidents Jan-Mar 2021 The Lebanese Army is asking for international aid. A French organised UN donor conference for the Lebanese army, held on 17 June (the same day as a general strike), drew promises of food, fuel, medical supplies, and spare parts from Western and Arab donors including the US. This follows army chief General Joseph Aoun’s March public complaint that troops were “suffering and hungry”, reiterated in a speech on 15 June. Western states see the army – which is widely respected across the political and religious divides – as a bulwark against Iranian-backed Hezbollah. General Aoun also criticised the country’s political leaders this week, saying “we are forced to turn to allied states to secure aid and I am ready to go to the end of the world to procure assistance”.

  • What Is Hezbollah? Tony Badran
    WHAT IS HEZBOLLAH? TONY BADRAN Imagine you live in a small country with more than a hundred thousand missiles pointed at it. And imagine the leaders who control those weapons had one stated purpose: to destroy you—to literally wipe your country off the map. What would do you? Strike first and try to destroy all the weapons? Set up an anti-missile defense system? Or would you ignore the problem and hope it goes away? You can now stop imagining, because these are real-life questions that one country in the world has to ask itself every day. That country is Israel. And the leaders who control these missiles (and the number I gave is a low-ball estimate) belong to an organization known as Hezbollah—Arabic for “Party of God.” Moreover, they’re not rogue terrorists. They actually run a country—Lebanon. You should know something about them. Hezbollah first burst onto the international scene in 1983, when they simultaneously bombed the United States Marine barracks and French paratrooper base in Beirut. 241 Americans— the largest loss of American military personnel in a single incident since World War II—and 58 Frenchmen were killed in the attacks. But this was only the beginning. More bombings followed, killing 24 people at the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in 1984; killing 85 at the Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires in 1994; and killing 19 at a housing complex for American oil executives in Saudi Arabia in 1996. In 1985, Hezbollah terrorists highjacked TWA Flight 847, during which they beat passengers, separated those with Jewish-sounding names, and murdered U.S.

  • “Shutting out Hezbollah in Its Entirety Will Destabilize the Lebanese
    CLAIM “Shutting out Hezbollah in its entirety will destabilize the Lebanese government, in which Hezbollah and its allies gained a vast majority of the popular vote in parliamentary elections, making it one of the most effective fighting forces against the Islamic State group.” SHORT RESPONSE HEZBOLLAH IS THE DESTABILIZER IN THE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT AND HAS DONE LITTLE TO DEFEAT THE ISLAMIC STATE. INSTEAD, IT ASPIRES TO BECOME SOMETHING SIMILAR. THE FACTS The struggle to reduce the capabilities of a terrorist organization is ongoing, multi-dimensional, and requires a great deal of determination. A terrorist organization such as Hezbollah, which operates simultaneously as a terrorist organization and within the framework of the Lebanese political system as a “legitimate party,” relies on civilian infrastructure, living spaces, and sources of funding. It carries out profit and loss considerations on an ongoing basis. Reducing Hezbollah’s capabilities and influence must be achieved by exerting pressure on the organization — directly and indirectly. The key to this is international cooperation and the mobilization of political elements in the government to reduce Hezbollah’s power. SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON HEZBOLLAH A Joint Project by AJC and the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism KEY DETAILS WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO Î For years, an alliance between the Christian camp and the DESIGNATE HEZBOLLAH?

  • CHAPTER 2 the Sunni Community in Lebanon: from “Harirism” To
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Institutional Research Information System University of Turin CHAPTER 2 The Sunni community in Lebanon: from “Harirism” to “sheikhism”? Daniel Meier (University of Grenoble), Rosita Di Peri (University of Torino) Introduction On August 15, 2015, Sheikh Ahmad al-‘Asîr was arrested at the Beirut International Airport while trying to flee to Nigeria with a fake passport. Even though all groups of the political class applauded the capture of the man wanted for his role in the bloody events that took place in Abra, near Saida, in June 2013, where 18 soldiers of the Lebanese Armed Forces lost their lives in a confrontation with al-‘Asîr’s partisans, the re-appearance of this icon of radical Sunni mobilisation underscored a deep sectarian divide among the Lebanese population. A family member of one of the soldiers killed expressed his concern about a double standard in the application of laws and security between Sunnis and Shiites. He was referring to the unsuccessful capture of a Hizbullah member accused of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri (Nader 2015). This particular event raises the issue of a major change of perception among the Sunni community in Lebanon; it also highlights a broader mindset according to which Iran and Hizbullah are responsible for the emergence of radical Sunni groups in the country and for the exclusion of a moderate political faction like the Hariri-led Future Movement (al-mustaqbal). This change of perception becomes quite clear when one remembers that Sunnis represented the Muslims of Lebanon in the National Pact (1943), which gave the community a key role in the process of nationhood building.

  • Geo-Visualization Tools for Participatory Urban Planning the Case of Tripoli, Lebanon
    KARTOGRAPHISCHE BAUSTEINE BAND 35 DRESDEN 2007 Remarks on the cover The cover illustration combines two different types of imagery. The first one forms the background: it is a geocoded mosaic of three QuickBird scenes of Tripoli acquired on 26 January 2003, 8 April 2003 and 2 July 2003. This is overlaid by four photographs depicting typical scenes of the city centre of Tripoli. From East to West they display the following sites: waste on the both sides of the main river (Abu Ali River); street-vendors at the entrance to the old souk; daily traffic jam in the old city; disused houses in the old city waiting for a renovation since the end of the Civil War in 1990. i Note: More than one month after the beginning of the disastrous summer 2006 war in Lebanon I submit my thesis with the hope that it will be the last conflict in my country, the country which is known for its multicultural and multireligious structure. I hope that by the conclusion of my work Lebanon will have peace and peace for ever. Ich habe die vorliegende Dissertation etwas mehr als einen Monat nach dem katastrophalen Krieg im Sommer 2006 im Lebanon eingereicht. Ich hoffe, daß bis zur Fertigstellung des Drucks dieser Konflikt gelöst ist und endlich dauerhafter Frieden im Libanon einkehrt, dem Land, das für seine Multikulturalität und Multireligiosität bekannt ist.
