Today, Saad Hariri, former Prime Minister of Lebanon, honors the memory of his father, Rafic Hariri, a visionary leader whose legacy continues to inspire the Lebanese people. November 1 marks what would have been Rafic Hariri’s birthday, and two decades since his tragic assassination, his presence remains vivid in the heart of Lebanon.
Saad Hariri’s heartfelt post reminds us of the indelible mark his father left on Lebanon, particularly in Beirut, where Rafic Hariri’s vision helped rebuild a city and a nation from the ashes of war. His vision continues to shape Lebanon’s identity, with each corner of Beirut bearing his imprint.
In these challenging times, as Lebanon faces escalating regional tensions, Saad reflects, “Today is your birthday. You are ever-present in my being, in every step I take. In these troubled times, I and our beloved Lebanon miss you. We need you now more than ever to bring hope and joy back to this country.”
This tribute captures not only the deep personal loss but also the collective yearning for a leader who once symbolized hope, peace, and unity for Lebanon. Rafic Hariri’s legacy lives on, echoing in the resolve and resilience of the Lebanese people.
