Biography

Dany Chamoun was born at Deir el-Qamar. In 1975, he was made Secretary of Defense of the National Liberal Party, which was led by his father, and founded the Tigers Militia (Noumour el Ahrar in Arabic, because the middle name of his father was Nemr, which means tiger), which played a major role in the early years of the Lebanese Civil War before being eliminated as a military force in 1980 by a rival Christian militia, the Lebanese Forces, led by Bachir Gemayel. For a time, Chamoun and Gemayel became bitter rivals, and Chamoun moved his office to Muslim-dominated West Beirut. He temporarily quit politics.

Chamoun was a supporter of the nationalist Christian cause at heart, however, and he soon returned to the cause to which he, like his father, had dedicated his life. He served as General Secretary of the National Liberal Party from 1983 to 1985, when he replaced his father as the party leader. In 1988, he became President of the Lebanese Front - a coalition of nationalist and mainly Christian parties and politicians that his father had helped to found.

He strongly opposed the Taif Agreement, which not only gave a greater share of power to the Muslim community than they had enjoyed previously, but more seriously, in Chamoun's opinion, formalized what he saw as the master-servant relationship between Syria and Lebanon, and refused to recognize the new government of President Elias Hrawi, who was elected under the Taif Agreement. is the 266th day of the year (267th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
