The problems are the same almost everywhere (with the exception of Israel and Turkey): political suppression, economic underdevelopment and grinding poverty (except in the smaller oil states), a lack of education, high unemployment, and huge demographic pressures, owing to a very young and rapidly growing population.
除了以色列和土耳其两国外，中东各国所遇到的困难几乎都是一个模子出来的：政治压迫，经济落后以及难以承受的贫困（那些小产油国除外），教育缺乏，失业居高，还有由一个非常年轻且快速增长的人口所来带来的巨大压力。
