The Emptying of Baalbek Is a Moment to Take Stock
“Large numbers of people continue to flee their homes every day, as Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have been going on unabated.” These disturbing words could be from almost any news report about Israel’s invasion of its northern neighbour over the past month. However, they can be found in a report by the Norwegian Refugee Council’s Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre issued on July 27, 2006.

A Future Without Hezbollah
At the end of September, when Israel’s campaign to destroy Hezbollah was reaching its height, I met one of the group’s supporters in a seaside café in western Beirut. He was a middle-aged man with a thin white beard and the spent look of someone who had not slept for days. He was an academic of sorts, not a fighter, but his ties to Hezbollah were deep and long-standing.

National Conference on 33rd Anniversary of the Taif Agreement Held at UNESCO
National Conference on 33rd anniversary of the Taif Agreement was held on Saturday at UNESCO upon the invitation of Saudi Ambassador to Lebanon Walid Bukhari.
Saudi Ambassador Walid Bukhari considered that National Conference on 33rd anniversary of Taif Agreement reflected the Kingdom’s willingness to preserve Lebanon’s security, stability, and unity, and most importantly the national accord.
"France assured us that there will be no intention or proposal to change the Taif Agreement," he said.
For his part, Former Prime Minister Fouad Siniora stressed the importance of electing a president who believes in the Taif Agreement, and seeks to implement it.
Progressive Socialist Party Leader Walid Joumblatt stated that before discussing the Taif amendment, it shall be implemented.
"The major battle now is not constitutional and political powers of the presidency, but rather the electing a president and later forming a government," he confirmed.
As for Archbishop Boulos Matar said that Christians and Muslims were considered as one in the Taif Agreement.
“We are brothers in patriotism, Arabism, and humanity. Lebanese people shall put aside their differences under the roof of brotherhood, and not above it,” he emphasized.
UN Special Coordinator Joanna Wronecka expressed the United Nations’ keenness on supporting the Taif Agreement.
Former MP Boutros Harb pointed out that it was easy to criticize Taif, but it was not easy what Lebanon was suffering from at that time in terms of killing and bombing.
