Bachir Gemayel: A Charismatic Leader and a Symbol of Lebanese Independence
Early Life and Political Awakening
Born on November 10, 1947, in Beirut, Bachir Gemayel was the son of Pierre Gemayel, the founder and longtime leader of the Kataeb Party. The Gemayel clan's ancestral home was in Bikfaya, a town in the Metn region northeast of Beirut.
In 1962, Gemayel joined the Kataeb Party, becoming active in its student organization. His involvement in politics intensified during the 1968 student colloquium organized by the newspaper "Orient." The event highlighted the growing divide between pro-Palestinian and pro-nationalist factions in the country's universities.
