5/ The families of the disappeared have waited decades for answers. Their suffering should no longer be overshadowed by political agendas or used as a bargaining tool. Accountability must take priority.

4/ Parties like the Free Patriotic Movement (FPM) and Lebanese Forces (LF) have often exploited the plight of the disappeared to serve their own agendas. This instrumentalization only adds to the pain of the families.

3/ Recent reports of detainees being freed after the fall of the Assad regime, including two Lebanese missing for decades, have sparked fragile hope. But this tragedy remains heavily politicized.

2/ Enforced disappearances were a tool of repression under Hafez and Bashar al-Assad, used to silence dissent. Some Lebanese factions were complicit, deepening the tragedy. Families have been trapped between hope and despair for years.
