KATA'IB AL-FIDA' AL-'ARABI [PHALANGES
DE LA REDEMPTION ARABE]
Just as men bear all their lives the mark of their
childhood, so parties are greatly influenced by their
origins. Hence it is essential to dig deep into the roots
of the ANM to understand some present trends in the
organization.
Although the ANM disclaims any relationship to the
Kata'ib Al-Fida' Al-Arabi (henceforth Kata'ib) there is a
reasonable evidence in the writings of former members of
the ANM, and of political opponents to establish the
relationship between the two organizations.” Indeed it is
hardly possible to disavow the impact of the Kata'ib on
the organizational structure and the ideology of the ANM
especially during the formative years of the latter. It
suffices to know that Hani al-Hindi and George Habash the
luaurice Duverger, Political Parties (New York:
John Wiley, 1955), p. xxxii.
zt is significant to note that the documents and
literature, of the ANM make no mention whatsoever of the
Kata'ib. However, Muhsin Ibrahim, a former member of the
Political Bureau of the ANM reveals the well-kept secret
in his edited work, Limatha Munathamat al-Ishtirakiveen
-al-Lebnaniyeen? [What For is the Organization of the
Lebanese Socialists?], (Beirut: Dar al-Tali'ah, 1970),
p.- 16. The Ba'th, too, believes that the kata'ib has
provided the nucleus around which the ANM was organized,

November 5, 1968.
