The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is deeply connected to the complex interplay between geopolitics, energy markets, and regional dynamics.
The recent surge in oil exports by UAE and Saudi Arabia highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of the historical and cultural context of the region, including the experiences of indigenous communities and the impact of colonialism. By centering the perspectives of people from the Middle East and promoting more inclusive and participatory decision-making processes, regional actors can address the root causes of the conflict and promote a more sustainable and equitable energy future.
