There is no state in Lebanon, there is a coalition of sectarian ta\u00effa leaders ruling the country. Each sectarian ta\u00effa leader legitimates the other and each one has the veto power and the ability to paralyze the government and the decision-making process at the state level. None of the sectarian ta\u00effa leaders is interested in gaining support in the other sectarian ta\u00effas , each one focuses on increasing his popularity within his sectarian ta\u00effa at the expense of other sectarian ta\u00effas. Therefore, they have a complementary role as this behavior strengthens the sectarian divide. This precludes them from getting out of this game, so whoever decides to play outside the existing rules collides with the interests of all the leaders of the sectarian ta\u00effas, and runs a risk of losing his leadership over his own sectarian ta\u00effa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
