Description
Lebanese Christian and Druze Parties Reorganize Two of Lebanon's leading parties--the Christian Lebanese Forces (LF) and the Druze Progressive Socialist Party (PSP)--are reorganizing themselves, the first after it was outlawed for most of the post-civil war years and the second as it is getting closer to Syria after a five-year standoff, the Beirut-based influential daily AN NAHAR reported on Sept. 18. "The LF considers its upcoming first congress a founding event having been sidelined from the political scene by Syrian tutelage," the newspaper said. Syrian troops, which entered Lebanon in November 1977 on a peacekeeping mission at the height of the smaller country's 1975-90 civil war, left under local Lebanese and international pressure in 2005.
