Can Lebanon Disarm Hezbollah Without First Rebuilding the State?
Since August, the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) have been under instructions from their government to present—by year’s end—a plan to bring all weapons in the country under state control. The directive is mainly targeted at Hezbollah, the Shia-led militia that had in recent years grown more powerful than the national army. Yet for decades, Lebanon’s myriad sectarian groups have flaunted state sovereignty by operating militias of their own. As such, the government’s latest move, which was taken under the auspices of the United States, exposes the yawning gap between ambition and capacity. After it was announced, four Shiite ministers walked out of the cabinet session and Hezbollah denounced the measure as a “grave sin.” Not surprisingly, the roadmap that was submitted in early September lacked any credible timeline or enforcement mechanism.
