Malouli’s absence highlights taif talks
The absence of Michel Al-Maoulou, one of the most prominent fathers of the Taif Agreement and a former deputy, brings back to light the focus of the debates initiated by the agreement in Lebanon, especially regarding administrative division and the electoral law. Al-Maoulou emphasized that the agreement stipulated holding elections based on the governorate and new administrative divisions that ensure fair representation, despite the Syrian regime exploiting these provisions to strengthen its control over Lebanon through manipulations of the electoral laws. He pointed out that the agreement did not explicitly mention proportionality in elections but aimed to promote fair representation and reduce excessive influence by political leaders. He also warned of constitutional amendments that could intensify political disagreements. Although the agreement ended the war, Al-Maoulou confirmed that it did not establish a strong state, and many of its provisions were not fully implemented.
