The process of political change and
transition across much of the Middle East and North Africa
(MENA) continued into 2013, with a great degree of
heterogeneity across countries. Violence in Syria has
escalated, with spillover effects to Lebanon and Jordan.
Security in Yemen is fragile but a national dialogue has
started which includes the drafting of a new constitution in
advance of national elections. In MENA's transitioning
countries drafting of new constitutions remains a critical
pending issue. Citizens have not been silent. Their voices
continue to be heard across the region calling for greater
public participation and open government |
