  • Sunni Tribes in Iraq
    In Iraq, Sunni tribes pay heavy toll for joining fight against Islamic State

    Local leaders say IS intimidation is undermining the ability of any tribe to fight back, by using sleeper cells and systematic cleansing of anti-IS figures within the tribe.

    The king’s death comes at a delicate time for the oil-rich kingdom, which is struggling with the impact of plunging oil prices domestically, the rise of the Islamic State, and an Iran’s whose influence is growing across the Mideast as its proxies take on increasingly powerful roles in Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria.

    Opinion: Tunisia still on the brink

    Nothing should take away the so far singular accomplishment of the Tunisian revolution - the first youth-led movement to topple a dictator in the Arab world in memory, and so far the only one to shepherd a peaceful transition to a different political system. But as the election results demonstrate, if progressive forces cannot develop a narrative that both helps Tunisians understand how much deeper the system they need to replace is, and gives them a strategy and a sense of hope that it can be changed, the victory of January 14, 2011, will remain incomplete, and likely tragically so.
