In 1984, Geagea and Elie Hobeika orchestrated an internal coup in order to end the leadership of Fuad Abu Nader in the Lebanese Forces. Abu Nader was considered to be too close to his uncle, president Amine Gemayel whose policies were not accepted by most LF leaders. In 1986, Geagea became head of the Lebanese Forces after overthrowing Hobeika, who was widely accused of treachery in the Lebanese Christian sector for agreeing to a Syrian-sponsored accord (the tripartite agreement). Geagea transformed the LF into an organized force and was equipped by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
In 1989, Geagea approved of the Taif Agreement which aimed to put an end to the Lebanese war. He controlled most State-owned entities such as the Beirut port where he raised money for his militia from import-export activities. He also extracted taxes from the Christian region, offered free open-heart operations, twinned Christians cities with foreign cities, substituting the role of the state. He also tried to open an airport in the Halat region because the Beirut international airport (located in the west suburb of Beirut) was under the control of pro-Syrian groups what made the access for Lebanese Christians almost impossible.
Geagea publicly aligned himself with Prime Minister General Michel Aoun after a failed attempt on Aoun's family residence in Rabieh in February 1989. When General Aoun launched the Liberation War against Syria on March 14, 1989, Geagea supported the Prime Minister's effort to free Lebanon from foreign forces. However, he later began to diverge away from that path. When Aoun asked Geagea to take a clear and honest position vis-a-vis the Taif Agreement and the Syrian occupation of Lebanon, he resisted violently. Just a few days after his visit to Aoun and his famous kiss on the cheek, Geagea and his Lebanese forces, (and under the pretext of opening a school that had not been functionnal for 15 years) Aoun and his "army" launches a surprise attack on the Lebanese Forces. The aggressions progressed to include massacres against unarmed civilians demonstrating to put an end to the acts of war on many front line sections, especially in Nahr El Mott. Cornered in his very diminished enclave Aoun allied himself with Hizbollah and the Pro Syrian militia leadr Elie Hobeika who were supplying him with weapons. The devastating military conflict between the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese Forces that started on January 31 came to an end on October 13, 1990 when the Syrian forces invaded the last sovereign region of Lebanon that was under the control of the Lebanese army. Although Aoun swore on many occasions that he would rather die than leave his palace in Baabda, he left his soldiers and lieutenants to be massacered by the Syrians and ran away with the spoils of his campaign (90 million dollars) to hide in the french embassy and then into exile in France.
