The politics and the players
A coalition of pro-Western factions competed against an alliance
linking the Iranian-backed, pro-Syria Hizbollah (Party of God) and
a Christian faction led by the former army chief Michel Aoun. Sunni
Muslims strongly supported the pro-Western grouping, which is led
by Saad Hariri, the son of the murdered former prime minister Rafiq
Hariri, while Shia Muslims supported the Hizbollah-led alliance.
