The Great War on Terror: Feeding the Beast
In this episode of the “Arab Digest Podcast,” Andreas Krieg examines what the war on terror achieved in the Middle East and North Africa.
Arab Digest editor William Law is joined by Dr. Andreas Krieg, a lecturer at the School of Security Studies at King’s College London.
They examine what the West’s “war on terror” has really achieved in the Middle East and North Africa: a reinforcement of authoritarian regimes, the fueling of brutal insurgencies, the silencing of protest and the crushing of civil society.
