Mabrouk! Lebanese politicians reach agreement to end eighteen months-long political crisis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Posted by Qifa Nabki<\/p>\n

After over a year and a half (556 days, to be precise) since five opposition ministers resigned from the Lebanese cabinet, precipitating the worst political crisis since the Civil War, a solution was finally reached between Lebanese politicians in Doha, early this morning. <\/p>\n

The agreement brings to a close a turbulent period which saw downtown Beirut shut down by demonstrators, dozens of civilians killed in street clashes, the Nahr al-Bared conflict, a string of political assassinations, and the return of ugly displays of sectarianism, which threatened to drag the country back into civil war. <\/p>\n

The solution came in the form of an agreement on the 1960 electoral law with approved amendments relating to the shape of Beirut's electoral districts, coupled with a cabinet alignment which accords a minority veto to the opposition parties. General Michel Suleiman is expected to be elected President of the Republic on Thursday or Friday, with dignitaries and foreign heads of state arriving on Sunday to celebrate the political breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Here are some news items on the deal:<\/p>\n

Political Agreement Reached in Lebanon (NY Times)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By NADA BAKRI and ALAN COWELL<\/p>\n

BEIRUT, Lebanon — The Hezbollah-led Shiite opposition and the Lebanese government backed by the West and Saudi Arabia, reached an agreement on Wednesday to resolve an 18-month political crisis that has crippled the country and recently triggered the worst fighting since the 1975-1990 civil war.After five days of fraught negotiations among Lebanon’s rival political groups in Doha, the Qatari authorities said the agreement called for moves within 24 hours for Parliament in Beirut to begin the process of electing Gen. Michel Suleiman, the commander of Lebanon’s army, as president.<\/p>\n

The deal was also expected to lead to the formation of a cabinet in which Hezbollah, supported by Iran and Syria, along with its allies will enjoy the veto power it had sought in the negotiations .<\/p>\n

Under the terms of the agreement, the government will also debate anew electoral law designed to provide better representation in the country’s sectarian system of power-sharing.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr al-Thani, the Qatari Prime Minister, told a formal ceremony in Doha that Lebanon’s feuding parties “agreed that the speaker of Parliament will call within 24 hours for the election of Gen. Michel Suleiman as president of the republic.”<\/p>\n

Nabih Berri, the Parliament speaker, said the new president would be elected soon, possibly on Sunday. Lebanon has been without a president since November. Mr Berri also said a protest camp in Beirut’s central commercial district would be dismantled.Opposition supporters began to take down their tents Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The agreement negotiated in Doha foresaw the creation of a government composed of 16 cabinet seats for the ruling majority, 11 for the opposition and three to be nominated by the new president.<\/p>\n

The deal enjoined all parties to “commit themselves not to use weapons or violence in order to achieve political gains under any circumstances.”<\/p>\n

Despite the agreement, many of the differences that ignited Lebanon’s newest crisis remained unresolved. They include how to deal with Hezbollah’s weapons stocks, and Lebanon’s relations with Syria which ended its 29-year military presence here in 2005 following the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The issue of cooperation with a United Nations tribunal to investigate Hariri’s murder and 10 others that followed was not resolved. Pro-government officials accuse Syria of involvement in these assassinations.<\/p>\n

Media reports said that the agreement was reached when Qatar stepped up pressure Tuesday night following signs that the talks were deadlocked over the new electoral law, which will determine how the factions share power in Beirut and thusinfluence next year’s parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

The Qatari Emir, Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa al-Thani was reported to have intervened personally Tuesday night to clinch the deal, after returning from a trip to Saudi Arabia where he attended a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting. The Saudis are important supporters of the current Sunni government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.<\/p>\n

The Doha talks came after an Arab League delegation headed by Qatar mediated a deal between Lebanese factions that ended a week of violence earlier this month in which more than 60 people were killed during street clashes between gunmen loyal to Hezbollah and Sunni backers of the government.<\/p>\n

Hezbollah and its allies, angered by government decisions that threatened a private communication network and an attempt to dismiss the head of security at Beirut’s airport,a figure close to the group, sent their fighters into the streets on May 7, blocking roads and engaging in clashes with Sunni fighters in Beirut. Violence also raged in eastern and northern Lebanon and the central mountains. Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader, called the government’s actions a declaration of war.<\/p>\n

The agreement in Doha drew quick approval from Saudi Arabia and from France, whose President, Nicolas Sarkozy, called it “a great success for Lebanon.” Iran and Syria, Hezbollah’s supporters, also approved the deal, Reuters reported. <\/p>\n

Lebanese Voice Relief at End to Political Crisis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Beirut, 21 May 08, 12:42 (AFP) <\/p>\n

Weary Lebanese expressed relief on Wednesday at the announcement of a deal to end 18 months of crisis that drove the country to the brink of civil war but concern it might be only a temporary reprieve."Hopefully this is not a Band-Aid solution and is a long-lasting one," said Aleco Assaf, 64, a resident of Beirut. "People need to live in peace."<\/p>\n

Throughout the country people were glued to radio or television sets listening to the Qatari prime minister announce the deal between government and opposition leaders after six days of talks in Doha.<\/p>\n

"I am very optimistic because finally we're going to be able to live," said Josiane Nakad, who sells swimwear in the Hamra district of west Beirut.<\/p>\n

"I haven't had many sales lately because people didn't know whether they would be spending their summer on the beach or under the bombs. "I just hope this is a long-lasting accord and not just a reprieve."<\/p>\n

On the streets, in coffee shops and in telephone conversations, people could be heard congratulating each other on the end to the deadlock between the government and the opposition that erupted in sectarian bloodshed earlier this month.<\/p>\n

In the southern coastal city of Tyre, drivers honked their horns on hearing the announcement with some shouting "Mabrouk" (congratulations).<\/p>\n

"Since the deal was announced sales have been brisk," said Abu Fadi, who sells Lotto tickets in Beirut. "In the last two days no one was buying but today everyone is hoping that the deal will bring them luck."<\/div>\n

Beirut resident Zeinab al-Said, 28, said she was especially happy that the agreement had brought an end to the opposition's 18-month-old protest camp outside the government's headquarters that turned part of the city center into a ghost town.<\/p>\n

"I am ecstatic," she told AFP. "I am sure things will get better. We're going to be OK."<\/p>\n

Some older Lebanese expressed skepticism, however, that the rival leaders had really buried the hatchet.<\/p>\n

"I have seen a lot in my 85 years and it usually only calms down a bit to start over again later," said Elie, who would not give his last name. "Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die when it's calm."(AFP) <\/p>\n
