The Lebanese were not ready to move forward with him, leave their 'farms' and build a real state. unfortunately, the Lebanese today also still prefer their confessional belongings and confessional zaiims, allowing foreign powers to manipulate their feelings and reactions through them…
I really feel sad that President Chehab (RIP) did not form a political party during his life or leave one after his death. This is very much needed in these days.
Je ne l'aimais pas. Ma famille n'etait pas pro-Chehabiste. mais je realise sa valeur politique et humaine avec le temps. Je suis devenue avec le temps pleinement Chehabiste.
On a besoin d'un homme d'etat comme lui avec ses valeurs. Il nous manque.
Il faut qu'il y ait une résurrection de cette école nationale. On devrait fonder cet Institut partout au Liban…
Why isn't the foundation playing the perfect role in the Civil Society, by applying the ways of President Chehab? I knew that he was the most honest leader, and I am certainly sure that you are too. So, we need a changing plan for our society and our government, especially 'The Parliament'. So, please do it!
Je suis fondatrice et mère prieure de la Laura Abana (diocèse de Batroun) lieu consacre a la prière silencieuse et a l’accueil des assoiffes de dieu, chrétiens, musulmans ou autres. Je vous remercie président Chéhab pour la clarté et la noblesse de toute votre personne! Merci d’intercéder pour nous auprès de Notre père afin que chacun de nous au Liban devienne le Temple de Dieu, Christ.
Belle figure de l'histoire politique libanaise qui rend le cœur fier et nostalgique ! Dommage que nous n’étions pas assez murs pour le comprendre et évoluer avec lui. les manipulateurs/profiteurs des sentiments confessionnels sont des criminels vis-a-vis du Liban. Ils le furent durant l’époque Chéhab et le sont toujours, sans honte, bassement liés a l’étranger. C'est douloureux a l'observer quotidiennement.
My father, Edmond Gaspard, had the honor to serve under President Chehab as Interior Minister in 1960. He used to tell me that President Chehab was one of the rare political men who really cared for his country, Lebanon, and the future generations. May he rest in peace.
Je suis francais, et ma grand mere pied noir d'Algerie. Chehab est son nom de jeune fille.
J'ai lu pas mal de choses au sujet du nom 'Chehab', et une chose en resort, c'est la fierte!
I was 14, attended his funeral on 25 April 1973. It was a Wednesday. I was outside the St George Maronite Cathedral across from Arzarieh, then followed the funeral procession along rue Bechara El Khoury as far as I could go.
He was my uncle. My grandfather was Emir Cesar Chehab and we\'re now living in Mexico City. God bless Lebanon! My best wishes for all the dynasty Chehab and my best regards.
Thank you for handling and maintaining this site. It's not just the man, the General and the President. It's the Code he believed in: Honor, Sacrifice & Loyalty. It not only tells us who we are, but how we should behave. I look at a lot of politicians today and feel ashamed. he wore the uniform like nobody ever did, he wore the Presidency like no one did.
We owe it to our children for a better tomorrow, to keep the legacy alive.
Sadly, on this day, his principles are being overlooked by a psychological coup against the innocent Lebanese citizens. His inclusiveness & nation-building completely left behind by a group of greedy politicians who only think of their personal power & enrichment, making Lebanon a subservient state of a dictatorial regime. Is this what the Lebanese citizens want?
Our political institutions are, in many respects, lagging behind the modern political regimes that try to ensure the efficiency of the State…". This is as true today as it was then, when expressed by the late president Chehab in his speech of August 1970.
I am hoping that the uprise of the Chehabism movement will help promote the revival of the spirit and wisdom of a great statesman, and instill in the heart and soul of those in power, the urge to move the republic to levels in line with the interests and aspirations of its citizens.
Beautiful memories from the good old days of Lebanon when we had respect and integrity.
Thank you for this memorable website. Special mention goes to Gaby Lahoud.
