DBWI: No (or less successful) Arab Spring

OOC: This is what a DBWI is, we won't discuss it in the thread.

IC:

IOTL, in the early 2010s, a series of protest movements across the Arab world led to various dictatorships, once saw as stable and secure in their power, fall. Bahrain, Egypt, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Algeria, Yemen, and Tunisia all saw their autocracies fall, and all eight of them are now functioning liberal democracies.

But what if this was not the case? What if the Arab Spring didn't happen? How would the Middle East look today?
 
Of those countries only two of them Egypt and Syria have had governments that lasted more than six months. By my count Libya alone has had 27 different governments in the last 2 1/2 years. So the vaunted stability of the Middle East is a elaborate lie. Not to mention the hyperinflation crisis affecting the Sudan and Algeria
 
You wouldn’t have Morocco, Tunisia and Sudan accepting to be mediators between Israel and the Palestinian authority which de facto is a recognition of Israel by those countries.
