The Lebanese National Movement (LNM) (Arabic: الحركة الوطنية اللبنانية) , was a front of parties and organizations active during the early years of the civil war in Lebanon. It was led by Kamal Jumblatt, a prominent Druze leader of the Jumblatt family of Lebanon. The LNM represented one of the two main forces during the first round of fighting in the Lebanese civil war, the other being the militias of mainly Christian Lebanese Front which comprises the Phalange, the National Liberal Party and others; as well as parts of the Maronite-dominated central government. The LNM had been founded out of the Front for Progressive Parties and National Forces in 1969, as a self-proclaimed "democratic, progressive and non-sectarian" front. Its membership was overwhelmingly left-wing and professed to be secular, although the fairly obvious sectarian appeal of Jumblatt's Progressive Socialist Party (PSP) and some of the Sunni Arab nationalist organizations in some cases made this claim debatable. To say that the LNM was a Muslim organization would however be a gross oversimplification. Its main claims are: the abrogation of sectarism, political and social reforms, the clear proclamation of the arabity of Lebanon, more support to the Palestinian struggle and the demission of President Suleiman Frangieh.Soon after the outbreak of the war, it announces the creation of an executive structure, "the central political council". more here:Lebanese National Movement (LNM) Contact InformationCall our office today to set up an appointment.
