Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 9 April 2021 is Outline of Lebanon.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Lebanon:
Lebanon – sovereign country located along the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea in Southwest Asia and the Middle East. Lebanon, due to its tense sectarian diversity, has a unique political system, known as confessionalism, in which each religious group is allocated a fixed number of seats in parliament. The country enjoyed a period of relative calm and prosperity before the devastating Lebanese Civil War from 1975 to 1990. In 2005, a wave of demonstrations known as the Cedar Revolution ended the 30-year Syrian occupation of Lebanon. By early 2006, a considerable degree of stability had been achieved throughout much of the country and Beirut's reconstruction was almost complete, but a debilitating 2006 war and internal strife caused significant economic damage and loss of life. Lebanon has shown remarkable resilience to the Late 2000s recession.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:11 UTC on Friday, 9 April 2021.
