  Dossier: Emile Lahoud (November 2001)
Lahoud was born on January 10, 1936 in Baabdat, a town in north Metn.
Lahoud's election was, not surprisingly, denounced by Aoun, as well as Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, who condemned the ascension of a military officer to the presidency and boycotted the parliamentary vote along with nine other deputies.
Lahoud reacted to the growing wave of dissent by accusing critics of the Syrian presence of enflaming sectarian divisions and conspiring to serve Israeli interests.

He is the son of General Jamil Lahoud (a Maronite Christian), a leader in the independence movement.
Lahoud, acting on behalf of Syria has facilitated and instructed the security heads surrounding him (all 4 are now laying in jail) to carry on a series of executions targeting opposing political and journalist figures.
To add insult to injury, Lahoud crippled all the activities of the Lebanese Government by refusing to sign on any decision taken, especially the United Nations' approval on the draft of the international court that is investigating his role in the assassination of former Prime Minister, Rafiq Hariri.

His popularity is low, and he will apparently not stand a chance of being reelected president in 2004 —; unless Damascus forces the parliament to vote against their interests.
Lahoud has been behind many acts of suppression against those demonstrating against the Syrian presence in Lebanon, leading to much discontent with him.
Lahoud's rise to power was much due to the contacts and position his father, Jamil, had built, first through the independence fight of Lebanon in the early 1940's, then as a politician in the 1960's.

A self-declared realist, Lahoud lobbies for the younger generation of Arab leaders emerging on the political scene, saying that they embody hope for the future and have the potential to propel their countries across the threshold of the third millennium.
Lahoud reflected that a decade ago, it was "impossible" for young Arabs to attain leadership or decision-making posts, but now the younger generation is playing a bigger role in politics.
Lahoud was especially looking forward to meeting the younger Mubarak, because he'd heard "so many good things" about him, and believed their views on many issues, like those of their peers, would be similar.

Maouwad accused Lahoud of blocking the work of the Lebanese justice in an allusion to the arrest last week of four of Lahoud's allies, and become their defender.
Calls for Lahoud to resign have grown since the detention of Hamdan, the only Lebanese security chief to keep his job after parliamentary elections in June ushered in an anti-Syrian majority for the first time since the end of the civil war.
Lahoud's pledge came after the head of the UN probe into the murder said the president was "not a suspect" in the case and made clear that the investigation into the February assassination was far from over.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | How much can Lahoud do?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When Lahoud takes office on 24 November, it will be with a strong mandate from both parliament and the public: all 118 deputies present at the electoral session voted in favour of the army chief, and an opinion poll showed Lahoud received the support of nearly 70 per cent of those polled.
The wide popular support Lahoud gained from a nation eager for change, along with that of Syria and the tacit approval of Lebanon's other allies was based on Lahoud's greatest achievement: reuniting the military establishment after it was divided into Christian and Muslim militias during the war.
Lahoud is expected to follow in the footsteps of Hrawi in strengthening cooperation and coordination with Syria regarding internal and foreign affairs, particularly the Middle East peace process.
