The Arab Crisis

on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/2. The Arab nations have oil, gas and lots of well-educated people, yet they've failed to keep up with the global economic boom of the last 20 years. Dr Maha Azzam travels across the Arab world to ask why it has failed to develop and provide jobs for its citizens, and meets women who say they've been left out of the race for progress. She also hears from the experts who put the blame on overpopulation, corruption and red tape. Repeated from Tuesday
