Lakhdar Brahimi’s Long Career of Useless Diplomacy | As‘ad AbuKhalil

In Lebanon, we remember him for his years of “work” as an envoy to Lebanon: he was supposed to help in mediating the end of the civil war. It seems that Brahimi’s only achievement during that time was prolonging that protracted conflict.
He had no successes in Lebanon whatsoever. His role in the Taif Accords (which may appear on his official resume) was entirely non-existent. The Taif Accords was a lousy deal between the Syrian and Saudi regimes, neither of which were – or are – in a position to help in constructing a viable functioning democracy.
