LEBANON-VOTE-CHRISTIANS

Lebanese students wave Christian party flags, Amin Gemayel’s Kataeb (L), Samir Geagea’s Lebanese Forces (C) and Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement (or Tayyar), as they mark the second anniversary of the killing of Christian newsman and anti-Syrian parliament member Gebran Tueni, in Mkalles east of Beirut 11 December 2007. Lebanon’s once dominant Maronite Christian community, from which the president is drawn, is faced with the dual challenge of infighting and a vacuum for the top post that could drag on for months.
