Taif Agreement
The Taif Agreement was negotiated by Lebanese members of parliament at Taif in Saudi Arabia and signed in October 1989 to end the Lebanese Civil War. It shared parliamentary seats equally between Christians and Muslims, reduced the powers of the Maronite president in favour of the cabinet, and called for militias to disarm. It also recognised special ties with Syria, whose troops stayed in Lebanon until 2005.
