Lack of freedom holding back Arab states, UAE General News - Maktoob News

Lack of freedom holding back Arab states
Oct 27, 2009

"DUBAI - A lack of personal and political freedoms continues to hold back Arab states, with only the UAE scraping into the top 50 most prosperous countries in the world, the Legatum Institute said on Monday.

The London-based think-tank said the majority of Arab states were ranked in the bottom quarter of the annual Legatum Prosperity Index of 104 countries, which measures how prosperous a country is based on nine factors including freedom, economic growth, health, education, security and governance.

And if the lack of freedom doesn't frustrate an average arab, then getting shot in the street in cold blood by your government - like every day in syria - will do certainly do it for you.
