Corruption is one of the major problems facing the Middle East and the world nowadays. It is very widespread and it penetrates every aspect of our lives and all sectors. It is destroying peace and stability and all sorts of daily activities. Life has been on hold for many years in many regions. It really hurts and makes us sad when the government announced policy is on one side of the valley and the real problem is on the other side. The policy is largely on paper only and the corrupt people get stronger and more powerful instead of being punished.
Demonstrators do not take to the streets in the Middle East because they are poor or there are just bad services or no electricity. Poverty, bad services, shortage of electricity, unemployment, are just symptoms. These people demonstrate against corruption which is the root cause of almost all the problems in these and other countries.
