Lebanon

Lebanon is a located between 5 main countries . Jordan, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria and Palestine. After I made a quick search I found out that The Bible described Lebanon as "the land of milk and honey". Beirut is the capital of the country and it is called “Paris of the East”. There are many famous activities happen around the year in Lebanon. Let’s now read about Lebanon to find more information about it.

Lebanon faced lots of things during the last years. One of the most thing that happened in Lebanon was the problems between Muslims and Christians in 1943.The main cause of that problem was when Christians held the balance of power in the government while Lebanese Muslims had little say in the running of their country. The problem reached a culmination when members of a radical Christian group attacked and killed a bus full of Palestinians in Beirut. Soon after, revenge killings started to spread throughout. Another important issue is that in 1982 the Israeli troops wanted to remove the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) who was entrenched in Beirut. Israeli troops surrounded Beirut and drove out the PLO, during that time many thousands died in the fighting. The civil was was the main issue to be considered in Lebanon which broke out in 1975. The war lasted for almost 15 years which also destroyed the economic of the country and causing a huge damages to people life. The studies showed that almost 150,000 people were killed and another 200,000 were either wounded or missing.

Let’s now go to read about the Lebanon in present . After the war was over, Lebanon took a serious action to rebuild the country and to bring the economy back to its place and make it even much better. The economy started to return back to its normal and tourism started to resume again. development products have increased and been exported outside the country. However, the country still faces problems regarding Palestinian people who still have few rights, and water shortages which have become a serious problem as well as the the militants who want to turn over the government.

To sum up, I feel sorry for Lebanon people and Israel is the main reason for all problems. I think we have all to solve this problem and make the peace in the area.
