The Lebanese Civil War: A City Divided
Om avsnittet
We trace the immediate aftermath of the 1975 National Pact, focusing on how the fragile power-sharing agreement between Bechara El Khoury and Riyad al-Solh struggled to contain rising tensions. We explore the role of Kamal Jumblatt in mobilizing leftist and Druze forces against the Phalangist militias, leading to the outbreak of violence in April 1975. The episode details the initial clashes in Beirut, the breakdown of state authority, and the early formation of sectarian zones that would define the war's geography for decades.
