(BEIRUT/PARIS: 13 May 2007): As Lebanon heads down the fast track to trade liberalisation, some commentators, including UK-based charity Oxfam, are predicting a devastating impact on small-holder farmers. Unable even to sell produce on the Lebanese market let alone for export, these farmers are painfully unprepared to compete with subsidised imports. Yet little is being done to fortify the agricultural industry as the fruits of major bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) and liberalising reforms loom on the near horizon.
Reclaiming Beirut: Call for Participation
- Report from Dajij, Lebanon
- Deadline for Submissions: 30 June 2007

The tears of Israeli leaders are crocodile tears, and their claims that they are sorry for the tragic developments in Gaza are mere hypocrisy. The bloody confrontations were predictable, and the Israeli-US responsibility and active involvement are crystal clear.
Suicide Bombers Without a Cause: Lebanon and Fatah al-Islam

- Sunday, 17 June 2007
Despite the complete political silence of Fatah al-Islam indicating its purpose or vision of the world—save for a few empty and hastily composed statements—its fighters’ willingness to die so readily has become well known. Hence, they can be described as those affiliated to a jihadi movement a la al-Qaeda. (…اكثر)

Starting on 20 May, Nahr al Bared, a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon with an estimated 40,000 inhabitants, came under bombardment by Lebanese military forces. The military assault on the densely populated refugee camp took place after a clash between Lebanese security forces and an armed salifist group called Fatah al Islam, which had infiltrated the civilian refugee camp.
