Diese Region steht immer unter Spannung, aber gerade jetzt beginnen sich eine Reihe von separaten Konflikten zu überschneiden. Wir sehen, dass der Mittlere Osten, Nordafrika und die Sahara von Revolutionen und Gegenrevolutionen hin- und hergeworfen werden.

But behind these fears is an incredibly simplified – almost fictional – vision of the world. It possesses the minds of many western politicians, journalists and associated think tank „experts“.
