Lebanese syrian war
Syria’s influence on Lebanon
Ever since I opened my eyes and started to grow, the relationship between Syria and Lebanon has grown as well. They were inseparable countries, because of Syria’s interventions in the Lebanese political system. After the assassination of Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in 2005, the Lebanese population was able to get rid of the Syrian dictatorship in Lebanon by protesting in on the 14th of March. Lebanese were promised freedom however that promise was broken because of the war that divided Syria into two parts the ones that supported Bashar el Assad and the one who were against this dictator this war took place across the borders of Lebanon, and affected the Lebanese population since Syria has throughout history influenced Lebanon. I believe that this war had a detrimental effect on Lebanon’s economy, politics, population and security.
Many authors have written about the topic of the Syrian war and its effect on Lebanon. Hussein ibish in his article “Is Syria being ‘Lebanized’ or Lebanon being ‘syrianized’ ” talks about the intervention of Hezbollah in Syria and how this is affecting Lebanon’s safety. He mentions in his article how car bombings in Lebanon were the result of this intervention in addition to the political problems, some were against Hezbollah’s actions while others approved. “Lebanon overrun by Syrian refugees” an article written by Ninette Kelley, develops the idea of how the refugees are living in poor conditions in Lebanon, and how the Lebanese government is getting worse because of Syria’s war. In the article “Lebanon’s Syrian war” Rania Abouzeid mentioned how these two countries are interrelated and how the Syrian refugees are settled in Lebanon. In is article “Can Beirut be Paris again?” Micheal j totten talks about the negative change that Beirut has faced after 1970, the war, Syrian intervention, and how Beirut before the 70s was the Paris of the Middle East. He also questions if Beirut can be the Paris it
