	Dossier: Michel Aoun (January 2001)
		Aoun, a Maronite Christian, was born in 1935 to a poor family in Haret Hraik, a mixed Muslim-Christian suburb south of Beirut.
		Aoun concentrated his efforts on preserving the strength and unity of the army, which remained in its barracks for the next four years amid the chaos of Lebanon's civil war, laying in wait for the day when it would be called upon to enforce a peace settlement.
		Aoun remained defiantly entrenched in the presidential palace and, despite (or perhaps because of) having incurred the united hostility of Lebanese militia commanders and traditional elites, still commanded an unprecedented level of popular support.

	Lebanon divided on presidential hopeful Michel Aoun - International Herald Tribune
		Aoun is one of the leaders behind the opposition demonstrations that have overtaken Beirut seeking to bring down the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.
		Aoun and his allies accuse Siniora of corruption that has left the country tens of billions of dollars in debt, and they say the government is not representative of the new realities in Lebanon.
		Unlike those in Lebanon's political class, Aoun was born to a poor Maronite family in the southern suburbs of Beirut, which became a Hezbollah stronghold during the 1980s, a fact that his supporters say lends him credibility when he tackles issues like corruption, gerrymandering and inclusion in Lebanese politics.
