About Me

Intibah Wakeup Kadi: Ghassan is from a political activist family in Lebanon. A Lebanese national with both parents born in Syria, with family equally spread across both, due to his family & community background, felt he could better express himself more freely, tackling highly contentious subjects, by using a pseudonym. His writings are informed by his interesting, rich, but traumatic background. He grew up in the household of a very influential SSNP figure. It was young Ghassan who urged his father to end the SSNP-Assad feud. In 1976, he told his father, “they broke your bones in jail because you said “Tahiya Suria” and yet your party is still allows this wedge to continue between it and the Syrian government.” It took two days for his father to start making initial contacts with Syrian officials which eventually led to the first meeting of Abdullah Saade, the then President of the SSNP, and Abdul Halim Khaddam and, the rest is history. That was the first ever link between the national movement in Lebanon and the Syrian government after the rift Jumblat created. After that, all the other parties joined in. https://intibahwakeup.blogspot.com/2017/11/background-of-ghassan-and-intibah-kadi.html
