Society - The Rageh Omaar Report - Lebanon - What Lies Beneath

Description

Twenty years on from the end of the Lebanese civil war, Rageh Omaar asks why there are still question marks over the fate of those who disappeared during the 15-year conflict.Civil movements representing families of an estimated 17,000 Lebanese missing since the war, as well as repentant former fighters and a fledgling secularist movement are all breaking the silence on civil war wrongs.They are pushing the boundaries of the sectarian old order and asking whether the future could hold a Lebanon free from the dangers of institutionalised religious affiliation.
