Following the capture of Syria from the Ottoman Empire
by Anglo-French forces in 1918, France received a mandate
over this territory and separated out the region of Lebanon
in 1920. France granted this area independence in 1943.
A lengthy civil war (1975-1990) devastated the country,
but Lebanon has since made progress toward rebuilding
its political institutions. Under the Ta'if Accord - the
blueprint for national reconciliation - the Lebanese established
a more equitable political system, particularly by giving
Muslims a greater voice in the political process while
institutionalizing sectarian divisions in the government.
Since the end of the war, Lebanon has conducted several
successful elections. Most militias have been disbanded,
with the exception of Hizballah, designated by the US
State Department as a Foreign Terrorist Organization,
and Palestinian militant groups. During Lebanon's civil
war, the Arab League legitimized in the Ta'if Accord Syria's
troop deployment, numbering about 16,000 based mainly
east of Beirut and in the Bekaa Valley. Israel's withdrawal
from southern Lebanon in May 2000 and the passage in September
2004 of UNSCR 1559 - a resolution calling for Syria to
withdraw from Lebanon and end its interference in Lebanese
affairs - encouraged some Lebanese groups to demand that
Syria withdraw its forces as well. The assassination of
former Prime Minister Rafiq HARIRI and 22 others in February
2005 led to massive demonstrations in Beirut against the
Syrian presence ("the Cedar Revolution"), and
Syria withdrew the remainder of its military forces in
April 2005. In May-June 2005, Lebanon held its first legislative
elections since the end of the civil war free of foreign
interference, handing a majority to the bloc led by Saad
HARIRI, the slain prime minister's son. In July 2006,
Hizballah kidnapped two Israeli soldiers leading to a
34-day conflict with Israel in which approximately 1,200
Lebanese civilians were killed. UNSCR 1701 ended the war
in August 2006, and Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) deployed
throughout the country for the first time in decades,
charged with securing Lebanon's borders against weapons
smuggling and maintaining a weapons-free zone in south
Lebanon with the help of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon
(UNIFIL). The LAF in May-September 2007 battled Sunni
extremist group Fatah al-Islam in the Nahr al-Barid Palestinian
refugee camp, winning a decisive victory, but destroying
the camp and displacing 30,000 Palestinian residents.
Lebanese politicians in November 2007 were unable to agree
on a successor to Emile LAHUD when he stepped down as
president, creating a political vacuum until the election
of Army Commander Michel SULAYMAN in May 2008 and the
formation of a new unity government in July 2008.
Lebanon has a free-market economy and a strong laissez-faire
commercial tradition. The government does not restrict
foreign investment; however, the investment climate suffers
from red tape, corruption, arbitrary licensing decisions,
high taxes, tariffs, and fees, archaic legislation, and
weak intellectual property rights. The Lebanese economy
is service-oriented; main growth sectors include banking
and tourism. The 1975-90 civil war seriously damaged Lebanon's
economic infrastructure, cut national output by half,
and all but ended Lebanon's position as a Middle Eastern
entrepot and banking hub. In the years since, Lebanon
has rebuilt much of its war-torn physical and financial
infrastructure by borrowing heavily - mostly from domestic
banks. In an attempt to reduce the ballooning national
debt, the Rafiq HARIRI government in 2000 began an austerity
program, reining in government expenditures, increasing
revenue collection, and passing legislation to privatize
state enterprises, but economic and financial reform initiatives
stalled and public debt continued to grow despite receipt
of more than $2 billion in bilateral assistance at the
2002 Paris II Donors Conference. The Israeli-Hizballah
conflict in July-August 2006 caused an estimated $3.6
billion in infrastructure damage, and prompted international
donors to pledge nearly $1 billion in recovery and reconstruction
assistance. Donors met again in January 2007 at the Paris
III Donor Conference and pledged more than $7.5 billion
to Lebanon for development projects and budget support,
conditioned on progress on Beirut's fiscal reform and
privatization program. An 18-month political stalemate
and sporadic sectarian and political violence hampered
economic activity, particularly tourism, retail sales,
and investment, until the new government was formed in
July 2008. Political stability since the Doha Accord of
May 2008 has helped to boost investment and tourism, but
economic growth is likely to slow in 2009 as a result
of the global economic recession.
