Description
Lebanon's four rival Maronite political leaders must have given ample time to discussing the sensitive issue of the sale of Christian land when they met for the first time in an ice-breaking gathering at the Maronite patriarchate' seat in Bkirki, north of Beirut, on April 19. The much-trumpeted meeting, sponsored by newly elected Patriarch Beshara Rai, head of the influential Maronite Catholic Church, was designed to heal rifts within the sharply divided Christian community. It brought together for the first time former President Amin Gemayel, the head of the right-wing Christian Phalange Party, Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) leader MP Michel Aoun, Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea and Marada Movement leader and Zghorta lawmaker Suleiman Franjieh. A long-awaited reconciliation of the four leaders is seen as essential to stem an alarming wave of Christian land sales, mostly to wealthy Arab Gulf citizens.
