Clash at ABC Ashrafieh as Armenians protest Turkish film |
On 18 Mar 15, a fistfight erupted at the ABC mall in Ashrafieh after a number of young Lebanese Armenian men tried to stop the showing of the Turkish film Son Mektup at a Grand Cinemas movie theater. Despite the objections, the show went on as scheduled, in the presence of the Turkish ambassador, media reported. The protest was organized by the Tashnag Party, the biggest Armenian party in Lebanon, which described its move as a peaceful rally. The sit-in escalated into a stampede and a brawl between the protesters and those who came to watch the movie. Security forces arrived and locked down the mall for around an hour before managing to disperse the protesters. The Tashnag Party meanwhile issued a statement describing the film as a “new Turkish absurdity” and an attempt to “underestimate the minds of the Lebanese.” http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/172113-clash-at-abc-ashrafieh-as-arme... |

Racist graffiti in Ashrafieh: “The Syrian is your enemy” | Syrian Civilians/Refugees, Christian groups |
“Leave, leave, O Syrian.” “Beware your enemy, the Syrian is your enemy.” These were some of the slogans disfiguring the walls of Beirut’s Ashrafieh neighborhood this morning, sprayed on last night by a group calling itself “The Soldiers of Christ.” In what they presumably imagined was a witty play on the Islamist “takbeer” cry (meaning “Say ‘Allahu akbar’”), they also stenciled crucifixes with the caption “tasleeb,” the word for the act of crossing oneself. After a series of weeks in which Syrian civilians in Lebanon have been shot at and stabbed, tied up and publicly beaten, harassed by armed ‘patrolmen’, and abused by soldiers (by the army’s own admission), this kind of ethno-sectarian bigotry is, sadly, nothing new. |

Strategic alliance between Lebanese Front and Syria ends | Lebanese Kataeb Party, National Liberal Party (NLP), Arab Deterrent Force (ADF), Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) |
In 1978 the strategic alliance between the Lebanese Front and Syria came to an end. Chamoun and Frangieh were calling openly for Syrian troops to withdraw from Lebanon, and some minor incidents had occurred between Christian militias and ADF troops (namely in North Lebanon). On Fabruary 7, 1978, a clash erupted in front of the Lebanese military barrack of the military school in Fayadieh in the northeastern suburb of Beirut. An ADF (Syrian) unit had set up a checkpoint in front of the barrack, despite several requests by the Lebanese Army for its removal. When the checkpoint was not removed, the Lebanese Army attacked it. This marked the open confrontation between the Lebanese army (and the Christian militias) and the ADF. As a result, the ADF shelled the school and then shelled Christian residential neighborhoods of Ain al-Remmaneh, Karm al-Zeitoun, and Badaro in East Beirut; at least 100 civilians were killed and 200 wounded. |

Sieges set off clashes in other areas | Christian militias, Muslim militias, Palestinian militias, National Movement (NM) |
The sieges, which started in January, set off clashes on several fronts across the country, marked by a rise in the number of cross-sectarian abductions. As Christian militias were laying siege to Palestinian camps and Muslim-populated neighborhoods in East Beirut and its suburbs, Palestinian and Muslim militias were attacking Christians in cities and villages in North Lebanon and the Beqaa, as well as on the southern coastal road. This displaced the Christian population from these areas. In central Beirut, NM militias attacked Christian militias in the areas of Kantari and Ain al-Mreisseh. On January 8, 1976, residential areas in East Beirut (Ashrafieh, Sioufi, Geitawi, and Dfouni) came under intense shelling from Ras al-Nabeh, Bechara al-Khoury, and Tel al-Zaatar, all of which were under the NM’s control. |

A wave of shelling destroyed several residential building blocks in the east Beirut neighborhoods of Ashrafieh, Nasra, Saifi, and Tabaris. Five civilians were killed and 12 wounded in the crossfire on the Chiyah- Ain al-Remmaneh front line in Greater Beirut. A mortar shell fell on a house in Furn al-Chebbak, killing one person and injuring four. When the neighbors gathered to help, another shell fell, killing five (including a woman and a child,) and wounding 14. |

Fighting broke out in several areas in Beirut | National Movement (NM), Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), Lebanese Kataeb Party, National Liberal Party (NLP) |
Over the course of three days, Christian militias on one hand and Lebanese Leftist and Palestinian militias on the other clashed in various parts of the country. In Beirut, fighting broke out in areas where there was some proximity between Christian-populated residential areas and Palestinian camps or Muslim-populated areas, which would later become regular conflict zones: Dekwaneh-Tel al-Zaatar, Ain al-Remmaneh, Chiyah, Haret Hreik, Mreijeh, Burj al-Barajneh, Karantina, Maslakh, and Ashrafieh. Weapons included rocket launchers, automatic rifles, and mortars of small caliber. Clashes also broke out in North Lebanon between Tripoli and Zgharta. In the Shuf, Palestinian commandos from the Barja region attacked two neighboring Christian villages (Ain al-Assad and Marj Barja), causing a temporary displacement of population toward the Christian-populated East Beirut. And in Saida a general strike was ongoing, with continuous explosions and gunfire. During this time, according to newspaper reports, 300 people were killed, 1,500 buildings destroyed, and losses amounting to $200 million were reported by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Mahmud Riad, the secretary general of the League of Arab States, landed in Beirut on April 14 and announced a ceasefire on April 16. The Kataeb, the PLO, the National Movement (NM), and the PNL agreed to retract their armed members from the streets. The Kataeb handed over two of the seven party members who were accused of the bus shooting. The ceasefire remained shaky, however, because various incidents of abductions, explosions, and clashes were still taking place across the country. |
