3. March 14, 2005: How Do Young Lebanese Remember This Historic Date?

Twenty years on, does March 14, 2005, still resonate with Lebanon’s youth?

At Saint Joseph University (USJ) in Beirut, we asked students what they knew about the protests that followed Rafic Hariri’s assassination and led to the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon. Their responses varied—some were unaware, others had a vague idea, and a few were well informed. A reflection of how history is remembered… or forgotten.
