Birth and upbringing
Wadah Sharara, Lebanese politician, writer and university professor.

Born in 1942 into a Shiite family. He is originally from Bint Jbeil in southern Lebanon, but his parents, in the mid-sixties from which we are looking, had separated and both had a second marriage a long time ago and have now resided in Beirut. In his father's family, there are turbaned people, with or among them, who are educated in the "modern" approach. His father, in the beginning, was a teacher and was a well-known writer and translator, then became, for a long time, a member of the technical staff of The National Book House, and at the end of his career, he became the director of it. As for Waddah's mother, she is an Assyrian from Sidon, and she was a teacher in the public sector as well. Waddah had received a scholarship from the Lebanese government that allowed him to study psychology in Lyon, which he completed in 1963. Upon his return to Beirut, he became a contract teacher at the Amilieh School, which is a Shiite subordinate, before entering the formal education as a teacher of philosophy in secondary schools. He was also responsible for scattered translations published by Dar al-Tali'a, which was owned by Bashir al-Daouk, who was affiliated with the Ba'ath(3) Party at the time. He was with Ahmed Beydoun and Fawaz Traboulsi, one of the most prominent leaders of the Socialist Lebanon Movement. In 1970, the Socialist Lebanon Movement merged with the Lebanese Socialists Organization to form the Communist Action Organization in Lebanon, but Sharara soon left it in 1973 with Baydoun. Despite his belonging to the Shiite sect, Sharara is considered one of the most vocal critics of Hezbollah and has authored the book "The State of Hezbollah: Lebanon as an Islamic Society". He writes for the Lebanese newspaper, Al-Hayat and Al-Mustaqbal.
