	"Syria Restructures Lebanon's Electoral Law" (December 1999)
		The new law divides the North Lebanon governate into two districts in order to dilute the electoral prospects of the Lebanese Forces (LF) party and ensure the election of Syrian allies such as Agriculture Minister and former militia warlord Suleiman Franjieh.
		Bsharri, a predominantly Maronite Christian area which strongly supports imprisoned LF leader Samir Geagea, was combined with Akkar and Minyeh-Dinnieh (both predominantly Sunni Muslim areas) to form one district despite the fact that these areas are not even geographically contiguous.
		Candidates supported by Bsharri residents will almost certainly be defeated by pro-Syrian Christian candidates relying on support from Muslim voters in Akkar and Minyeh-Dinnieh.
