Conflicts in the MENA Region

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is a geographical region that has great importance in history. The region hosts many ethnic and religious nationalities with its unique geographical features and huge energy resources. Features of the Middle East are important for regional as well as for extra-regional powers that have historically sought to achieve control over these features. Thus, it has generally been a conflict-prone area.

Critical conflicts have started to occur in the region recently, and the developments that have taken place have become worrisome. Most people know very little about the MENA region and the latest developments there. This lack of knowledge hurts our ability to understand and engage in discussions about current events. Therefore, getting to know the Middle East closely will give us a different approach and improve our ability to analyze many important events.
