Eclipse of the Sunnis: Power, Exile, and Upheaval in the Middle East by Deborah Amos
Requirements: ePUB, MOBI or AZW3 Reader, 1.2MB
Overview: The Middle East is experiencing Post-Traumatic Shock-and-Awe Disorder, roiled by the unintended after-effects of the removal of a geopolitical cornerstone: Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-dominated Iraq.
Four million Iraqis were displaced by the conflict; two million of them left the country. Iraq’s demographic balance shifted and it became a Shiite-dominated state. Jordan’s Sunnis found themselves isolated and without a strong regional ally, and Lebanon’s Sunnis faced an internal challenge from Hezbollah’s Shiites, emboldened by the new power shift in Iraq.
The rise of Iranian-backed Shiite parties and militias was predicted; the consequences of the Sunni eclipse almost entirely overlooked. Yet it is this newly displaced population that is likely to determine the future complexion of the region.
