This region and its Christian and non-Sunni Muslim residents, was shelter for social, intellectual and even somewhat political independence inside the Ottoman Empire for a long time.</p><p>After the country’s independence, this demographic mixture with a slight Maronite Christian prominence has always been cause for rivalry, struggle, unrest and even civil war. This situation has even been intensified by regional and international agent’s interventions.
