Between Conflict and Coexistence: Refugee-Host Dynamics in Ghobeiry
Thursday, 14 August, 2025
In this podcast, Carlos Naffah speaks with LCPS researcher Rasha Akel about the dynamics between Syrian refugees and Lebanese returnees in Ghobeiry, a municipality in Beirut’s southern suburbs. Naffah discusses a study he conducted after the 2023 conflict which explores how these two communities—both impacted by displacement and economic hardship—navigate coexistence in a strained environment. Through interviews with local residents, authorities, and civil society actors, the study reveals a complex reality marked by both tension and interdependence.*The views expressed in this publication are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Konrad-Adenauer Stiftung or its Lebanon Office.
