In addition, Moawad was a member of the 14 March Coalition Leadership, as well as an active participant of the 2005 Cedar Revolution and key precursor movements, including the <a href="/wiki/Qornet_Shehwan_Gathering" title="Qornet Shehwan Gathering">Qornet Shehwan Gathering</a> and Bristol Gathering.<sup id="cite_ref-Bio_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bio-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="2005_Cedar_Revolution_and_key_precursor_movements">2005 Cedar Revolution and key precursor movements</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Michel_Moawad&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: 2005 Cedar Revolution and key precursor movements"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Moawad was actively involved in several key movements that paved the way towards the 2005 Cedar Revolution. He was a founding member of the Qornet Shehwan Gathering, a political opposition grouping formed in 2001, which was the primary opposition force to the Syrian hegemony in Lebanon. The group gathered key Christian figures, including Lebanese Minister <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Amine_Gemayel" title="Pierre Amine Gemayel">Pierre Amine Gemayel</a>, and Members of Parliament <a href="/wiki/Gebran_Tueni" title="Gebran Tueni">Gebran Tueni</a> and <a href="/wiki/Antoine_Ghanem" title="Antoine Ghanem">Antoine Ghanem</a>, all of which were assassinated for their political opposition. Moreover, Moawad was a founding member of the Bristol Gathering in 2005, the largest multi-sectarian opposition bloc in the history of Lebanon at the time, formed following the illegal extension of former Lebanese President Emile Lahoud's term imposed by the Syrian government. Following the 2005 Cedar Revolution, Moawad joined the leadership of the <a href="/wiki/14_March_Alliance" class="mw-redirect" title="14 March Alliance">14 March Alliance</a> alliance, and participated in the Doha Conference of May 2008 that came as a result of 7 May events that saw Hezbollah militarily invade the capital and parts of the Chouf area.
