Riad as-Solh

Riad as-Solh

Politics of Lebanon

Riad as-Solh (1894 – July 17 1951) (Arabic: رياض الصلح) was the first Prime Minister of Lebanon (1943–1945), after the country's independence. Like all of his successors as prime minister of Lebanon, he was a Sunni Muslim. He later served as prime minister of Lebanon again from December 14, 1946 to February 14, 1951. Several months after leaving office, he was assassinated in Amman, Jordan. He was known as one of the most important personalities in Lebanon’s struggle for independence and as a person able to unify Lebanon’s various religious groups in the struggle for independence.

He was married to Fayza Al-Jabiri and had five daughters. His eldest daughter, Aliya born in 1935, continued in her father's path in the struggle for a free and secure Lebanon. Aliya propagated the rich cultural heritage of Lebanon abroad until her death in Paris on April 26, 2007.
