Paramilitary Groups – 1990

Dissolution of militias was still a problem as the national unity government had not formed. Furthermore, all militia groups remained active until the Southern Lebanese Army headed by Gen. Michel Aoun was defeated in October 1990. Prime Minister Dr Salim al-Huss on October 16, 1990 emphasized that the countdown for the dissolution of the militias had begun in practice with the publication of the constitutional amendments law.[fn]”Lebanon in brief; Huss on dissolution of militias,” BBC Summary of World Broadcasts, October 16, 1990.[/efn_note] Nevertheless, the dissolution did not occur in 1990.
