What sources of tension, new or old in the middle east are revealed by the film?

What sources of tension, new or old in the middle east are revealed by the film?
Arab spring which is a revolt or protesting against their dictator Many people have been killed and tortured sexually harassed and hung.If the us likes the dictator then we will not get involved if we don’t like the dictator then they will fight with themPeople are afraid of speaking out because they do not want to get hurt but some people are still willing to speak out.The two biggest factions of Islam are Sunni and Shia People are trying to video tape what kinds of destruction that has been done without getting caught. They have hidden cameras and things to stay a secret.Many people are sad because the cops are taking peoples families away and no one knows what to do to find people. There is no way to get family back because then they themselves will disappear. People from our country are scared and are answering wrongly so that they wont disappear like the many people before them. Our ship is going across the sea to supply us, It goes right in between Saudi Arabia who supports us and Iran who is our enemy. Officers would open fire on crowds protesting. Obama made his speech to people who’s members have been arrested. These people want the fighting to end and the united states should be helping and they are not.

Sources of tension In the middle east!

Ok so this all started with Quadaffi and Libya starting to fight. We get involved by going on the rebels side (Libya) which made everything worse. Libya is training people who have never even held a gun let alone fought with one to fight against these people. They are using weapons that are very old and/or ones that they stole. They are teaching people how to fix weapons but the teachers themselves didn't know they just looked it up on the internet. These young men who are 18 years of age mostly are devoting their lives to fight for what they think is right. The Libyan soldiers think that as long as Quadaffi has the same weapons as them then they can beat them. The rebels are illegally selling oil and they are taking it from secret supply trucks who are supporting them this could be another reason of tension. The government does not like the fact that they are doing these such things.
