<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">Essentially every country in the Middle East and North Africa has felt the impact of the so-called “Arab Spring” in one way or another. On the Arabian Peninsula, the impact
has varied. In Yemen, serious conflict has been ongoing for months, and it is not yet resolved despite the efforts of neighbors and others to help mediate a solution. Unrest in Bahrain took a different course, with neighbors from the Gulf Cooperation Council
intervening. The rest of the countries of the Peninsula have been quieter, but rulers have certainly taken notice of changes in the region and responded in various ways.
