Writer Ahmed Saleh Ghalib al-Faqieh says in his article our region is witnessing and organized effort directed by the United States of America, Israel and sometimes France aiming at dismemberment of the region's states. The method used in this effort is done through instigation of ethnical and sectarian groups that have grievances and complaints against their governments. They are then pushed to demand for political formulas that could lead to partition and divide the structure of those states due to the comprehensive weakness of those states and the hidden failure in them.
In Egypt there are symptoms of sectarian sedition between the Muslims and the Copts and an ethnical disturbance between the Bedouins of Sinai and the rest of the Egyptians. In Iraq there are ethnical seditions between the Kurds and Arabs and Turkmens as well as sectarian disturbances between the Muslims and Christians and between the Sunnis and Shiites. In the Sudan there is an ethnical riot between the Africans and the Arabs and others between the north, the south, the west and the east and sectarian disturbances between the Muslims and the Christians. In the Arab Maghreb there are signs of disturbances between the Arabs and the Berber. In Yemen signs of seditions between the north and the south and signs of sectarian disturbance and in bargain there signs of riots between the Sunnis and the Shiites and the same situation in Saudi Arabia. In Syria there are disturbances between the Arabs and Kurds and sectarian ones between the Alawites and the Sunnis. In addition, in turkey there is an ethnical sedition between the Turks and the Kurds.
As for Iran there are signs of national seditions between the Azeri and the Persians and between the Arabs and Persians and Turkmens as well as a general disturbance between the Shiites and the Sunnis.
The states mentioned above govern those seditions through agitating them or calming them down in accordance with circumstances and their own political and economic interests in the region. However the ability of those countries to flare up and subdue those seditions is attributed to that the regimes in our region are unjust and many of them lack the popular legitimacy and most of them have not been able to build the modern state where the citizens are equal before the law and no control of one ethnical or sectarian over the wealth and power enslaving the other citizens. This structural disorder would continue posing a threat to unity of and security and stability of those countries and consequently their economic progress in general.
