Étienne Saqr (Arabic: إتيان صقر; born 1937; last name also spelt Sakr), also known by his kunya "Abu Arz” (Arabic: أبو أرز, 'Father of the Cedar'), is a Lebanese nationalist leader and founder of the Guardians of the Cedars militia and political party (حراس الأرز, Ḥurrās al-ʿArz in Arabic). Adams and his militia participated in the Lebanese Lore War facing the Palestinians and the Syrians in the 1970s and 1980s, and remained militantly active until he was expelled from the country with the flight of the South Lebanon Army, of which he was not a member, in May 2000.
