Last night, Shakira performed in front of 2 million people at Copacabana Beach in Brazil.

192 years ago, a Lebanese cedar was planted in Geneva, just outside what would become the United Nations. Today, it still stands. Tall, rooted, unshaken.

While Lebanon bleeds, that tree doesn't flinch. And neither do we.

This is for every Lebanese scattered across the world, planted in foreign soil, far from home, but never truly uprooted.

In 1915, they survived a genocide. In the 1920s, Lebanon gave them a home. And for over a century, they gave Lebanon back everything they had.
The Armenian community didn't just find refuge in Lebanon — they became part of its soul. Its food, its crafts, its music, its streets. Bourj Hammoud is not just a neighbourhood. It is proof that a people can lose everything and still build something beautiful.
On Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, we remember the 1.5 million lives lost. And we honour the survivors who chose Lebanon — and the Lebanon that chose them back.

There are more Lebanese in Brazil than in most Lebanese cities. They arrived with nothing in the late 1800s, fleeing persecution, carrying Ottoman passports, and called by a name that wasn't even theirs.

A century and a half later, they had shaped a nation's food, business, and politics. Two of them became president.

This is what Lebanese roots look like when you give them soil and time.
