Question

6. At the end of the Civil War in Lebanon, which four communities shared power?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lebanon is a semi-presidential parliamentary democratic republic within the overall framework of confessionalism, a form of consociationalism in which the highest offices are proportionately reserved for representatives from certain religious communities. The constitution grants the people the right to change their government. However, from the mid-1970s until the parliamentary elections in 1992, the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) precluded the exercise of political rights.

Answer 2

At the end of Civil War in Lebanon, the Muslims and the Christian shared equal power among themselves.

• The Lebanon Civil War lasted from 1975 to 1990 and resulted in about 1,20,000 fatalities.
• There was also a mass departure of almost one million people from Lebanon as a result of the war.
• Finally, due to the Taif agreement, it was brought to and end with a resulting decision of equal power to the Muslims and the Christians in the parliament.
