    1. We had a leader the west didn’t like so they backed a coup that put in a corrupt dictator that they liked

    2. We had a leader the soviets didn’t like so they backed a coup that put a corrupt dictator in charge that they liked

    3. The country came out of a coup and installed a popular leader that didn’t want to play ball with the west for various reasons, so the west sanctioned the country until its economy barely functioned

    4. A colony was given an independence “deal” that forces them to adopt their former colonizers currency, put about half of their reserves in said former colonizers bank, and forced the newly “independent” country to sell the extraction of its natural resources to companies from the former colonizer at disgustingly cheap prices, so what should be a rich country is still poor and the officials of this former colony are bribed by the colonizers to keep the system going.

    5. The wealthy oil nations used their wealth to give their citizens an extremely good standard of living however either as a result of this or of other reasons (possibly related to culture but thats a different conversation), no one wanted to do menial labor so here comes the importation of cheap foreign labor

    King Faisal Abdul-Aziz was a descent leader that tried to unite the middle east but he was assassinated.

    And Islam allows abortion with different kinds of restrictions depending on your school of thought
