| Özet: | Lebanon 2005: Decompositions and Rearrangements
The year 2005 in Lebanon was a year of great upheavals
both as regards its relationship with neighboring Syria and its internal political equilibrium. Since the summer of 2004, Syrian influence has been in the
West’s sights, particularly those of France and the United States. Damascus
has been enjoined to stop interfering in Lebanon and to help disarm the Hizbollah and Palestinian factions operating on Lebanese soil. The assassination
of Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, after his resignation, hastened the evacuation
of Syrian troops. The following months unleashed popular mobilization
unprecedented in the country’s history, but the hopes opened by this era of
political emancipation were soon tarnished by the usual maneuvers of
alliance-forging during the Spring elections of 2005. In the bellicose regional
environment, the persistence of communitarian and political cleavages and
vital questions such as the presidency of the Republic, continuing resistance
and the future of Lebanese-Syrian relations perpetuate alarming scenarios
for the future of Lebanon. |
