	Nabih Berri Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Nabih Berri (born 1939) became the leader of the Shi'ite Muslims in Lebanon in 1980.
		Nabih's biography is in large measure a mirror of the extraordinary modernization and change that took place in the Shi'ite community over the span of his lifetime.
		Yet Berri was unable to solve the crisis without the major intervention of Syria (and even Iran), a clear indication of the limitations on his authority and an interesting omen regarding the future of Lebanon.

	Nabih Berri
		Berri is effectively (if not formally) one of Lebanon's 3 heads of state, together with the weak Maronite Christian president Emile Lahoud and the more apt Sunni Muslim prime minister Rafiq Hariri.
		Berri has provoked many fellow Shi'is with his clearly anti-PLO orientation.
		Berri's unpopularity with Shi'is is one of the reasons for the success of the alternative Shi'i group, Hizbullah.

	Dossier: Nabih Berri (December 2000)
		Berri was born on January 28, 1938 in Sierra Leone, the son of Lebanese immigrants who, like many Shi'ites, moved to West Africa to seek financial opportunities.
		Berri's main concern was to maintain his job and to continue plugging his own supporters in the government's bureaucracy.
		Berri's recent effort to mediate between Syria and Maronite Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir is widely regarded as an attempt by Damascus to dilute the rising tide of opposition to Syrian occupation.

		Berri, if you think that this meeting was constitutional or not, especially after the resignation of the ministers from the Hezbollah and Amal movements.
		Berri, I want to describe your statements as dangerous, and that they may indicate that Lebanon is on the verge of another national disaster.
		Q: There is a feeling that Nabih Berri, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, is the real president of Lebanon during this period, since both President Lahoud and Prime Minister Siniora are being isolated because of the existing political disputes.

		It is equally likely that Berri will hold up privatization, given that both he and Hizbullah have a substantial share of supporters in the bureaucracy.
		Only Saad Hariri, in the constellation of major pie cutters, is keen to privatize, regarding this as a prerequisite for the economic health needed to protect the foreign investors his father attracted to the country in the past 11 years.

		It enhanced the speaker's credibility with his coreligionists, showing he was no American patsy, even as the secretary of state acknowledged by meeting Berri that any international peace plan for Lebanon required his approval.
		However, it is still premature for Berri to risk his standing with Nasrallah, and with his own electorate, by asking him to be more malleable.
