The Lebanese Forces and the Taef Accord

Seventeen years after the Taef Summit, which was held
in Saudi Arabia in October 1989, the reconciliation
agreement remains a debatable issue among the
Lebanese people, basically among the major Lebanese
political parties. Some have opposed this agreement
and others, particularly the Lebanese Forces, have
supported and promoted it on both the national and
the sectarian levels.

For instance, such agreements are not intended to
be an end by themselves rather than means, which lead
the Lebanese people to coexist peacefully and build a
strong system.

Based on the overall study and analysis, the research
is concluded by confirming the validity and the
positive aspects of the Taef Accord, which remains an
important reference and reliance for the Lebanese
people to solve their political disagreements.
