There is no denying the fact that today?s economy is still heavily dependent on non-renewable sources of energy. There have been a few alternatives but none has actually been able to substitute oil and coal. The Middle Eastern countries along with a few North African countries are the biggest producers of crude oil. All the developing nations are now heavily relying on such countries as the energy is the need of the hour in order to continue a sustainable developmental process. India China and all other big developing countries are facing oil woes every time the Middle Eastern countries enter any such situation of a crisis.

It is noteworthy that the economy slumps every time there is a sharp rise in oil prices. The limited resources along with unrest in such countries do not make the situation any better. We are dwelling in a world where cheap oil holds the key to economic stability. This is an irreversible state and we cannot get rid of the situation until we find any proper alternative with equivalent efficiency that of oil.

The Middle Eastern countries comprising of Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and some North African countries like Egypt and Syria are gradually entering into a stage of crisis. Every nation is involved in some sort of instability which is mainly political. Their instability in the government is driving the whole world?s economy into jeopardy.

Apart from oil there are also some other major issues that is affecting every nation dearly either directly or indirectly. The rising cost of pulses and sugar is an attribute to this unrest in the Middle East. The sole reason is the North African countries are good producers of some agricultural products. Tunisia for example has entered into such an unrest from where it is quite difficult for the nation to emerge. Tunisian fruit vendors are hence getting affected that is indirectly affecting the European countries who are the biggest importers of such fruits.

Libya has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons. Four decades of so called tyranny of Moammar Gaddafi has taken the country into a situation of utter turmoil. This unrest is affecting the export of oil from the country which is affecting the other nations. Iraq has already suffered huge jolts in the past decade. This is an example which is quite easy to comprehend. The Iraq war was the time during which oil took a trend of upward march. This trend has ever since continued its momentum with only some pockets of relief. Saudi Nations did not agree with the proposal of increasing of the production of the oil which led to sharp increase in oil prices just after the Iraq war.

There has been lack of security in such countries which are predominantly Islamic countries. All the terror groups have some origin in such countries. The leaders of ill-famous Al-Qaida have emerged predominantly from these regions. Thus it suggests that the continuous unrest in such Middle Eastern countries give rise to anti-socials who bring harm upon their own nation and the world as a whole. For instance one of the top leaders of Al-Qaida Al-Zawahiri finds his origin from Egypt a North African nation. Even the killed top brass of Al-Qaida Osama Bin Laden was a Saudi born son of a billionaire.

Public voice in such countries is thwarted as most of the countries do not bestow its support on democracy. Saudi Arabia is a kingdom and is ruled by emirates where as Libya is arguable ruled a dictator and is in the same mould how Saddam Hussain ruled Iraq. Lack of democracy gives rise to such irregularities which eventually gives rise to civil wars that have been observed in Yemen and Bahrain in recent times. Repression gives rise to such turmoil and their key source of income which is oil brings down the whole economy of the world into a state of crisis.
