BEIRUT: As Lebanon marks the 46th anniversary of its bloody civil war on April 13, public figures are warning that the country’s worsening crisis could lead to new conflict.
Though the regional and international situation is now different, Lebanon still faces the same fault lines that lead to the eruption of war in 1975.
The country’s unprecedented economic and social crisis, coupled with political gridlock, presents a situation that some are warning is reminiscent of pre-war Lebanon.
In 1990, fighting stopped after the signing of the Taif Agreement, which established a political settlement that has remained until today.
