A Disaster Caused by Europe’s Deal With Dictators?

This is an example of obvious political selectivity: I wonder why David Hearst singles out some ‘dictators’ and ignores others who have much more money and wealth and have been investing and wasting hundreds of billions of dollars in the West. 

Since the people who take the route of migration do it because of lack of development and prospects in their native countries, imagine if the petro-gas-dollar money of the last 4/5 decades have been shared and invested in the region.

Hearst is short-sighted, for the issue is structural and has roots in the natures of the MENA’s states, the form of ‘development’ pursued and imposed and the dynamic of global capitalism.
