Middle East Report N°78
15 July 2008
The full report is currently only available in French.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
After decades during which they saw their influence consistently decline, Lebanon’s Christians are in a position to once again play a decisive political role. The May 2008 Doha agreement, coming in the wake of Hizbollah’s takeover of West Beirut, provides the Christian community with the opportunity to regain an important place on the political map and to advance demands that have long been ignored. Already, Christians have obtained key positions in the new government, which was formed on 12 July. But the Doha agreement goes well beyond.
The Doha accords have ushered in three significant changes. First, they led to the election as president of Michel Suleiman, the former army commander. As a result, the Christians recovered the institution to which they are constitutionally entitled but whose effective powers had considerably diminished since the crisis began in 2004. The new president is likely to be courted by political actors of all stripes, each seeking to shape decisions he will face at his term’s outset. These include initiation of a dialogue on a national defence strategy (which, ultimately, will have to include the question of Hizbollah’s weapons), preparation of the 2009 parliamentary elections and the definition of new relations between Syria and Lebanon founded on mutual respect for sovereignty.
Secondly, the Doha agreement paves the way for a more Christian-friendly electoral law. Up until now, the electoral map was such that the vast majority of Christian candidates had to enter into alliances with the main Muslim parties. Most Christian politicians, it follows, were elected thanks to Muslim votes. Not any more. Post-Doha, Christian parliamentarians for the most part will be elected in predominantly Christian disticts. That means they will have real leverage and be able to adjudicate between the two principal Muslim poles, the one dominated by the Sunni Future Movement, the other by the Shiite Hizbollah. Because Lebanon’s political system broadly allocates ministerial seats in accordance with various parties’ parliamentary weight, the Christian vote will be decisive in the establishment of a novel balance of power – unless, of course, violence or massive irregularities prevent the holding of elections or undermine their credibility.
Thirdly and lastly, Christians will be in a position to revitalise old demands which the rest of the political class generally has disregarded. President Suleiman mentioned these in his inaugural address and Michel Aoun, the community’s self-proclaimed leader, also made them the focus of his effort to build a large Christian coalition. Among these demands are long overdue and ever deferred administrative reforms (eg, decentralisation), empowering the presidency, ensuring better Christian representation in senior civil service positions, rejecting the naturalisation of Palestinian refugees and facilitating the return of displaced and exiled co-religionists. Never before have these claims – which have long obsessed members of the Christian community – been as central a part of the political debate as they are today. Because powerful Muslim actors will need to ensure the loyalty of Christian politicians, and because such politicians’ leverage thereby will be strengthened, some of these longstanding demands could well be realised in the end.
For Lebanon’s Christians, these represent potentially momentous changes. The formula devised in 1989 to end the fifteen-year civil war shifted the balance of power in a way that clearly disfavoured them: the president was stripped of several prerogatives while the number of parliamentary seats allocated to Christians was brought down from 60 to 50 per cent. The ensuing period was characterised by Syria’s military occupation and the systematic repression of pro-independence Christian movements. Already weakened by a substantial wartime exodus, the Christian community was both leaderless and adrift, contributing to a sense of dispossession that, to this day, shapes its outlook in profound ways.

Irak : les chrétiens persécutés
Posted by EiffelWatch documentary here: http://www.france5.fr/c-dans-l-air/index-fr.php?page=resume&id_article=2624
En ces fêtes de Pâques, le mot “paix” est décliné dans toutes les langues. Par les fidèles des Eglises chrétiennes occidentales qui ont célébré la résurrection, par les dizaines de milliers de marcheurs qui depuis vendredi sillonnent l’Europe du Nord mais aussi par les chrétiens d’Irak, dont la survie est menacée dans un pays ensanglanté quotidiennement.
Depuis la chute du régime de Saddãm Hussein et la montée en puissance des mouvements islamistes, la communauté chrétienne d’Irak est victime d’une véritable hémorragie. Cela a commencé à Bassorah, où nombre de chrétiens chaldéens s’étaient installés pour ouvrir divers commerces, et en particulier des magasins vendant de l’alcool. On comptait quelque 500 familles au début des années 70.
Victimes d’attentats, ils ont tous fui, presque immédiatement après la chute du raïs. Cela a continué à Bagdad et à Mossoul, où l’implantation catholique remonta au premier siècle de l’ère chrétienne. Pendant près d’un an, les membres de cette Eglise ne se sont pas sentis visés pour leur croyance mais d’être victimes, comme les autres Irakiens, de l’anarchie et de l’insécurité générales. Puis, les enlèvements et les meurtres se sont multipliés et ont bouleversé la communauté qui jusqu’alors ne se croyait pas menacés par les islamistes dans ces deux villes.
Le 13 mars 2008, la découverte du corps de Mgr Rahho, évêque de Mossoul, qui avait été enlevé le 29 février à la sortie de la messe, provoque l’émotion de l”ensemble du monde chrétien. Cette mort représente un symbole du martyre enduré par les Chaldéens, menacés depuis cinq ans par les islamistes, qui reprochent à la très ancienne communauté chrétienne de Mésopotamie d’être complice des Américains.
“Des gens sont menacés, kidnappés, tués en pleine semaine sainte !”, s’insurge l’archevêque chaldéen de Kirkouk, Luis Sako. Des actes qui poussent beaucoup à se poser chaque jour la question de l’exil.
Face aux persécutions, les responsables chrétiens irakiens estiment que 75 000 croyants ont quitté le pays pour la Syrie, la Jordanie ou l’Occident. 75 000 autres auraient fui vers le nord de l’Irak, au Kurdistan irakien, où la liberté religieuse est plus grande. Mais arrivés nombreux avec, pour seul bien, les habits qu’ils portaient sur eux au moment de leur fuite, leur intégration pourrait se révéler difficile.
Depuis le début de l’invasion américaine en 2003, au moins 2 millions d’Irakiens ont fui le pays et on estime qu’il reste aujourd’hui moins de 400 000 chrétiens en Irak. Ils étaient au nombre de 636 000 environ en 2005 et encore un million en 1980, car, paradoxe de l’histoire, Saddãm Hussein leur ménageait une relative tranquillité.
Depuis six mois, la multiplication des initiatives a permis d’amorcer un début de prise de conscience des chrétiens de France en faveur de leurs frères d’Orient. Au nom du mouvement Pax Christi, l’évêque de Troyes, Mgr Marc Stenger, qui s’était rendu en Irak en février, a à son retour plaidé pour accueil en Europe des croyants irakiens qui se sont enfuis de leur pays.
Un projet formulé par le ministre des Affaires étrangères Bernard Kouchner en décembre 2007. ”Nous allons, j’espère, en accueillir près de 500 dans les semaines qui viennent et on verra après”, a-t-il déclaré le 19 mars 2008, lors d’un entretien sur RMC et BFM-TVM, en ajoutant que “nous ne refuserons pas d’accueillir des musulmans” mais “le problème, c’est que personne n’accueillait les chrétiens”.
Accueilli avec soulagement par la communauté chaldéenne de France, forte de 15 000 membres environ, vivant majoritairement en région parisienne, cette annonce a suscité quelques réserves. Pierre Henry, directeur de France Terre d’Asile, avait accusé, mardi 18 mars, dans un entretien à l’AFP, le gouvernement de vouloir faire une “opération de communication” en faisant venir ces chaldéens irakiens aux alentours du début de la présidence française de l’Union européenne, qui commence le 1er juillet 2008.
(From Le Monde, today:
http://www.lemonde.fr/culture/article/2008/03/06/wajdi-mouawad-seul-sur-scene-loin-du-liban_1019517_3246.html)
Il est des moments, dans la vie, où s’impose un retour sur soi. A 40 ans, Wajdi Mouawad en traverse un, qu’il met en scène, de manière très émouvante, dans Seuls. Le spectacle sera présenté en juillet au Festival d’Avignon. Mais c’est à Chambéry qu’il est créé, à l’Espace Malraux, où Mouawad a déjà créé Forêts, en 2006, et où il est artiste associé jusqu’en 2010.
Forêts s’inscrivait dans la lignée des spectacles qui ont fait aimer en France ce Libanais d’origine, installé au Québec après avoir vécu six ans à Paris, de 1978 à 1986. Sa famille fuyait la guerre du Liban, qui n’a jamais quitté l’enfant qu’il était ni l’adulte qu’il est devenu. Comment recoller les morceaux ? Se construire une identité ? Vivre l’exil ? Ces questions hantent les pièces de Wajdi Mouawad, comme Littoral, qui lui a valu, en 2005, le Molière du meilleur auteur dramatique francophone.
Auteur, Mouawad l’est avec générosité. D’un mouvement ample, il sait tisser des fresques qui vous emmènent là où l’odyssée de l’histoire rejoint celle de chacun, dans la quête sans cesse recommencée de l’amour, de la mort et de la vie à apprivoiser avant qu’elles ne filent leur chemin, et ne vous perdent en route. Il y a un goût indéniable de l’absolu dans cette écriture, qui, avec Seuls, efface beaucoup des majuscules qu’elle contient, pour serrer au plus près l’intime.
CROISER DES HISTOIRES
Seuls est un solo - joué par Mouawad lui-même. Celui d’un homme, Herwan, un Libanais exilé au Québec, qui prépare une thèse sur Robert Lepage, la grande figure du théâtre québécois. C’est l’hiver, il tombe des tonnes de neige, et Herwan n’arrive pas à travailler. Il tourne en rond dans son nouvel appartement, nu ou presque, comme s’il se protégeait des couches de vêtements qu’il doit enfiler quand il sort.
Le téléphone fixe marche mal, et quand il sonne, c’est soit sa soeur, soit son père, qui ne le lâchent pas, soit le directeur de thèse, qui lui demande de terminer son travail au plus vite pour obtenir le poste d’un professeur qui vient de mourir. Mais pour terminer, Herwan veut revoir Robert Lepage, qui prépare un spectacle à Saint-Pétersbourg.
C’est là que Seuls réserve une surprise. On s’attend, comme toujours avec Wajdi Mouawad, à partir loin, à rencontrer des gens, à croiser des histoires. Et l’on se retrouve face à un homme seul, qui se dépouille peu à peu des peaux d’oignon de la parole, pour entrer dans le monde de la performance, en peignant sur son corps autant que sur les murs ce qui l’habite et lui pèse : la vacuité des jours qui se suivent en boucle, le désir d’être soi et autre, l’appel, nourri des souvenirs d’enfance, à une vie qui échapperait à la pesanteur. Une vie d’”étoile filante”, comme Herwan rêvait d’en être une, quand il était dans l’instant de la nuit, au Liban.
Herwan, c’est évidemment Wajdi Mouawad. Mais c’est chacun, et Seuls le dit bien, jusque dans ses maladresses, qui étaient incroyablement touchantes, le soir de la première, mardi 4 mars. C’étaient celles de la vie comme elle va, quand on se demande où elle va.
Seuls, de et par Wajdi Mouawad, Espace Malraux, 67, place François-Mitterrand, Chambéry (Savoie). Tél. : 04-79-85- 55-43. Jeudi 6 mars à 19 h 30, vendredi 7 à 20 h 30. De 14 € à 25 €. Durée : 2 h 15. En tournée jusqu’en janvier 2009.

Posted by EiffelFor the past two years, there has been a clear dichotomy of haters in Lebanon. Those who hate March 14 and those who hate March 8.
There’s a third faction that we have ignored: those who hate them both.
The paroxysm of this hate is expressed in the following blog: I hate Lebanon and the people of Lebanon
It goes as far as hating Lebanon, its roots and its people.
Warning: Light hearted people, avoid going there. ![]()
Grey’s quiet Xmas 2007
Posted by EiffelIt’s not as good as the Lebanese Perfect Day of last year, but it’s still good.
My favorite bla bla is Jumblat’s.
Check it out:
Human Rights & Charles Malik
Posted by EiffelI think it’s quite strange that the day went by and no one on the Lebanese blogsphere mentioned anything about the International Day of Human Rights and the prominent role played by Dr. Charles Malik.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was proclaimed on December 10, 1948. NOW Lebanon has published an article about Dr. Malik’s early career as a philospher and diplomat.
For an official description about Dr. Malik’s “driving force behind the document’s arrangement”, you can find his biography on the official website of the UDHR.

A Big NO to Michel Suleiman
Posted by EiffelBefore it’s too late, the representatives of the 14th of March coalition should reconsider any step towards amending the constitution and electing General Michel Suleiman.
Such a move would not only be a major setback to all of March 14’s endeavors in the past two years, it will be a blow to each and every one of us who went down to Martyrs’ Square on March 14, 2005.
The word is out and it’s spreading rapidly. Yesterday’s hawks are now acting like wet defeated chickens unless this is a bluff – in which case we would definitely be reassured. But what happened exactly? Has the futile Christian paranoia exerted by the Hizbullah- Theofascist ally, General Michel Aoun, finally made its case? Are we abandoning ourselves to the overt Islamic threat in Lebanon and their madman ally? But first, who is Michel Suleiman and what do we know about him?
General Suleiman was appointed by the Syrians as commander of the Lebanese Army in 1998. This fact for sure is not assuring.General Suleiman was at the head of the army when – to name a few events –: a) we were banned from demonstrating; b) we were summoned by the Lebanese Army secret services because of our political opinion; c) we were tortured by the Lebanese Army to “confess” whatever they wanted us to confess; d) mass arrests occurred on August 7, 2001 and demonstrations were violently and publicly crushed in front of the Palace of Justice two days later; e) Ramzi Irani disappeared and was found dead in the trunk of his car (I will leave a question mark on that one). These facts are also not reassuring.
Now to give Suleiman some credits, he did not stand in the way of the demonstrations that were banned by Omar Efendi Karame’s government between the night of February 27 and 28, 2005. (Just for us not to forget, the decision to ban them was issued by both Sleiman Franjieh and Elias el Murr). In other words, he didn’t stand in the way of the emancipation of the – now fainting or six feet under – Cedar Revolution.
He also commanded the harsh battle – led by our brave soldiers – against Fath el Islam, thus crossing Hassan Nasrallah’s “Red Line”. This also gives him an extra credit. However, I resorted to conspiracy theory questions back then which are still unanswered. He also filled in the security vacuum after his predecessor finally found his place in “the garbage of history”. But why did he do that? Was it national duty or personal ambitions?
There are two undeniable facts that are uncomforting. The first is that General Suleiman denied all Syrian connection to Fath el Islam, he therefore sought to exonerate them from this crime. The second fact is that he is connected to the Syrian regime more than we know. Hi brother in law, Gebran Kuriyyeh was the official spokesman of Hafez Assad. He also recently paid a visit to his Syrian friends. Needless to mention is the Syrian-era reformed Lebanese Army creed that depicts the incestuous relations between the two countries…
Reassuring? No, I don’t think so. You don’t think so. We -14th of March supporters – all don’t think so. So what is happening at the head of our pyramid? Why are the leaders excelling in disappointing us after praising our patience and promising us to reap the ripe fruits of our long march? Mind you, it’s not just a 2 year battle we’re talking about. It’s a struggle that has been going on for a century to say the least…Why? It’s all because of us, Lebanese Christians.
Just when the Arab and Lebanese Sunni community subscribed to the “Lebanon First” objective, just when the international community joined hands to secure our independence, we had to blow it. How? Let’s call this phenomenon the Orange General.
The Orange General and his presidential obsession Part Deux (Part One was in 1988) will always be remembered as the second blow to Lebanon’s independence. The first blow was when his misadventures paved the Syrians into the last free stronghold in Lebanon in 1989. Back then, the Syrians came in through the main gate. The Orange General is now allowing them back in through the window. His alliance with the Safavid’s Qizilbash division in Lebanon – which certainly goes against the laws of nature – and his supernatural arrogance has put the Christian community in an undesirable situation.
The bearer of the Christians’ idiocies and sins, none other than the Patriarch Sfeir, was cornered recently in naming a president. Aoun’s escalating threats and scare tactics concerning the Christians’ future and the “Sunni takeover of the republic” prompted our Patriarch to push for Suleiman’s candidacy. I hope this candidacy is bubbling in the media just like Michel Edde’s candidacy was. Otherwise, I hope there’s something good about Suleiman that we do not know about…
So far, there’s only one side that seems to be satisfied with the latest developments. Guess who it is?
Another mystery sways the Lebanese political scene today: Shaker al-Abssi, dead or alive, seems to be out of sight. According to the Associated Press, “Prosecutor General Saeed Mirza also said in a statement that a DNA test on a body suspected to be that of militant leader Shaker al-Absi proved it was not his.”
Here are a couple of questions worthy of consideration:
1) Why did Marcel Ghanem insist while asking Walid Jumblatt about Michel Suleiman calling Bashar al-Assad (Minute 17:45 & Minute 20:24)?
2) Why did Walid Jumblatt briefly thank Michel Suleiman for Nahr al Bared and insisted that he stepped aside once his mandate as a general commander of the army was over?
3) Walid Jumblatt has access to inside information within the army thanks to his strong connection with the Lebanese Army Chief-of-Staff Chawki Masri. Does he know something we do not know?
4) It is quite understandable that the Lebanese Army had a hard time penetrating the Nahr al-Bared camp since the terrorists were using snipers and hiding underground. However it is not plausible that the army could not surround the area and keep terrorists from fleeing.
5) Many question marks that lead us to a big one: Did Michel Suleiman broker a deal with Bashar al-Assad concerning an evacuation of Shaker al-Absi?
If Emile Lahoud is still Syria’s lackey today, it’s because the Syrians appointed him. Suleiman was also appointed and bred and fed by the Syrians, so what makes him different from Lahoud today?
Something is definitely fishy about Michel Suleiman. History should not repeat itself. We have a platform for every decade: The general full of integrity and courage will come and save the nation.. (Michel Aoun 1988, Emile Lahoud 1998, Michel Suleiman 2008?!?)
Interview - « La seule ligne rouge est le vide constitutionnel », affirme le chef des Forces libanaises
Samir Geagea : Il faut garder les chances d’un compromis avec l’opposition ouvertes jusqu’à la dernière minute
L’interview recueillie par Michel HAJJI GEORGIOU
Samir Geagea est catégorique. La « ligne rouge », c’est le vide constitutionnel. Pas question de laisser l’opposition torpiller la présidentielle et opérer un coup d’État. Ainsi, s’il n’y a plus d’autre option que l’élection à la majorité simple pour éviter le vide, le 14 Mars ira dans cette direction. Cependant, à L’Orient-Le Jour, le président du comité exécutif des Forces libanaises fait preuve d’ouverture, tout en restant ferme sur les positions de principe. Il réaffirme ainsi sa politique de la main tendue à l’opposition, au 8 Mars dans sa globalité, avec qui il souhaite épuiser tous les recours pour parvenir à un consensus, quitte à organiser l’élection présidentielle à la dernière minute, mais aussi au général Michel Aoun, qu’il appelle encore une fois à s’entendre avec les parties chrétiennes du 14 Mars sur un candidat commun « qui pourrait satisfaire tout le monde ».
Kalam El Nass on Elections

Posted by EiffelThe «Divine Difference»
Posted by EiffelA year later from the «Divine Victory», maybe we should face the «Divine Difference».
First, there’s the difference between two societies. Even though one seems more homogeneous than the other, both of them are pluralistic. The Israeli society is, to a certain extent, as fragmented as the Lebanese one but it when it comes to politics, the rules are different.
At least fifteen different political parties are represented in the Knesset. The Israeli Jews who constitute around 80% of the Israeli population are divided into at least four ethnic groups. But when it comes to electing a Prime Minister, the Israeli citizens vote according to the candidate’s platform regardless of his political and ethnical affiliation. This being said, the Israelis remain loyal to their parties when it comes to legislative elections.
Then, there’s the difference in democracy. Every decision that is taken by every Israeli politician is subject to scrutiny and accountability. And this doesn’t end here: even when the disaster befalls on non-Israeli citizens, whoever is in charge is liable. Two great examples that the Lebanese could remember are the «Kahan» and «Winograd» commissions that were established after, respectively, the Sabra and Chatilla Massacres in 1982 and the Lebanon Summer War in 2006.
Last but not least, there’s the difference in global activism. Israel the state acts as a nation in the world. Every Israeli citizen in the world defends Israel, struggles for Israel, lobbies for Israel and, mostly, optimizes the support of the International Community for Israel.
In Lebanon, everyone’s divided, everyone wants to be the leader and everyone wants to be the President and the Prime Minister. And if your – tribal, feudal, confessional, party, whatever – leader is not the President or the Prime Minister, you’re willing to destroy the country to have him or her rule.
In Lebanon, if someone screws up, a shift of alliance will allow you to forgive and forget. Oh wait! Forgive? That’s not sure, you just keep his errors in the archives to use it against him once another shift of alliance will occur. Accountability? What does that mean? Oh yes! This could be used for selective criticism or selective justice.
In Lebanon, if someone tries to rally the support of the International Community to build a better country, what do you do? You do better. You rally the support of the rogue states to counter this attempt of having a better country…
Back to this «Divine Victory», Michael Young does a very good job demystifying it.
