Summary:Political events in Lebanon during 1989 were governed by the failure to elect a successor to President Gemayel in September 1988. That failure resulted in a further exacerbation of the Lebanese crisis, drove the country closer to partition and led to a fierce round of fighting between Syria and the Christian-Maronite camp. The article outlines and highlights the subsequent political developments in Lebanon with special reference to "war of liberation" under General Aoun against Syria and the background and aftermath of the Taif conference.
