Detailed explanation-1: -A major source of conflict in the Muslim Middle East is the divisive nature between the two main sects of Islam: Sunni and Shi’a. Although these two sects agree on the fundamentals of Islam and the teachings of the Quran, they are in conflict about who would lead the Muslim community after Muhammad’s death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although some religions are fighting over doctrinal differences, most conflict stems from more secular causes-a desire for political power, a struggle for resources, ethnic rivalries, and economic competition.
Detailed explanation-3: -As of mid-2022, the wars in Libya, Syria and Yemen show no sign of ending. Instead they have evolved, stagnated and become intractable. Only the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, which predates the Arab Spring, saw significant escalation during the reporting period.
