Description: After 18 months of politico-institutional paralysis and street politics, and 6 months of vacancy in the Lebanese Presidency, the Lebanese political crisis escalated quickly into armed confrontation between pro-government and pro-opposition Lebanese militias during May 2008. The clashes killed at least 81 people and wounded at least 250, and officially ended with the signing of the Doha accord, on May 21st, and the election of the new Lebanese President, on May 25th.
