Guardians of the Cedars
The Guardians of the Cedars (GoC) (; "Ḥurrās al-Arz"; French: Gardiens du Cedre or Gardiens des Cèdres, GdC) are a far-right ultranationalist Lebanese party and former militia in Lebanon. It was formed by Étienne Saqr (also known with the kunya or "nom de guerre" "Abu Arz" or "Father of the Cedars") and others along with the Lebanese Renewal Party in the early 1970s. It operated in the Lebanese Civil War under the slogan: "Lebanon, at your service."
