Since 1950, the Middle East has produced Nasser, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, the Assads, Ben Ali, Khomeini and Kenan Evren to name but a few. The Arab Spring of 2011 looked to buck that trend but I think we can all agree it has failed by now. Why have there been so many dictators? Do Orientalists have a point when they say Middle Eastern societies need a strongman ruler? Is imperialism involved? In this video Iām going to explore 3 different factors and give my opinion why I think there are so many Middle Eastern dictators. Letās get into it!
