The 1989 Taif Agreement That Ended Lebanon's Civil War
Om avsnittet
In 1989, after 15 years of devastating civil war, Lebanese parliamentarians gathered in the Saudi city of Taif to forge a peace agreement that would reshape the country's political system. This episode unpacks the Taif Agreement's key provisions: the shift of executive power from the Maronite president to the Sunni prime minister, the creation of a tripartite leadership, and the formalization of Syrian tutelage. We explore the controversial role of Saudi Arabia and the Arab League, the agreement's immediate impact on the ground, and its enduring legacy as both a peacemaker and a source of ongoing sectarian stalemate. From the war of liberation to the Cedar Revolution, learn how Taif remade Lebanon — and why its compromises still define the nation today.
