If you didn’t get it when Sharro posted his visual explanation:

maybe his verbal version will make things simpler:

Sources & resources:

  • The Atlantic, The Confused Person’s Guide to Middle East Conflict

  • Washington Post, The chaos in the Middle East, explained in one (long) sentence

  • Vox, This one-sentence explanation of ISIS is brilliant

    • Some people are neither verbal nor visual but kinesthetic — I dread to think how Sharro will explain all this simplicity to their nervous systems.

      I like how his one line history start at independence.

      He left out the bit where the colonial powers designed the post colonial states to be internally weakened so as to susceptible to the influence of the ex colonial powers and the overthrow when necessary of genuine democratic governments.
