Middle East Relationships, Explained Through An Interactive Map

Middle East Relationships, Explained Through An Interactive Map: "By highlighting or clicking on any of the actors in the region, the reader can explore the actor's relevant connections.

Despite having participated in international airstrikes against IS, the Gulf State has been accused of being a hotspot for terror funding.

While some of the connections may be up for debate, the chart is a great supplementary guide for an often incomprehensible topic. As with anything in the region, though, it will likely be subject to change as political bonds break and forge."
