Saudi Oil
Saudi Arabia and Oil: What You Need to Know
Saudi Aramco, has no royalties to pay out, low exploration costs, and access to a wide variety of crudes, from light sweet to heavy sour.

Labor costs and transportation costs within the Kingdom are inexpensive, and the land under which the oil fields sit is not really in competition for other resources.

Turkey
Kobani, Turkey’s Kurds, and the 2015 Turkish Parliamentary Elections
Ethnic relations in Turkey have historically been fraught with tension, particularly since the emergence of the aggressive state-driven nationalism that animated the early Turkish republic in the 1920s and 1930s.

Morocco
Morocco’s Counterterrorism Moment
Through a sweeping overhaul of the moudawana, the nation’s family code, his government has elevated the status of women in Moroccan society.
