olonial powers at that time - Great Britain and France - decided to split the Middle East region into so called spheres of interest. This only served these great powers in securing their geostrategic and economic interests, such as the free and cheap access to abundant oil resources in this region. Here the Sykes-Picot Agreement played an important role. This was a secret division of the entire Middle East region by Great Britain and France. In this secret Sykes-Picot Agreement of May 16, 1916, the Ottoman Empire - which was weakened through wars and crises - was divided into the Middle Eastern countries of today. According to the “divide and rule” principle the whole Middle East region was divided up arbitrarily. Borders were set up without regarding the historical, cultural, ethnic or religious context. This development has not allowed lasting peace in the whole region up to this day. Through intervention ordered by the US Administration, significant additional chaos and suffering was caused in the Middle East and North Africa, for instance in Iraq and Libya. It is time that peoples of this hard-fought for region receive back their right to freely live their own lives and to their due legal portion of their countries’ wealth - before they are completely destroyed by wars and dispersion caused by foreign influence and interests!
