I am a South African. I have been following Lebanese politics for the past 3 years with great interest, because it reminds me so much of the struggle we endured in SA- the dark days and the unending depair. The euphoria in Lebanon this last week touches me deeply because I have experienced this same feeling when we had the democratic election in 1994. From the brink of a civil war South Africa turned into a party.It was felt as a miracle from God- and I see this happening again.I am very proud to be living in a country whose leaders were instrumental in this peace deal.
With the lead up to SA's first democratic election there was a this prayer circulating.I have substituted the word "Africa" for "Lebanon".
God Bless Lebanon,
Guide her leaders.
Guard her children
Bring her Peace.
