- Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco benefit (and sometimes suffer) from bewildering cultural blending: Arab, African, and Mediterranean cuisine, ancient civilizations and still newly independent countries, powerful strengths and unsuspected vulnerabilities. Nothing shows the creative potential more than the remarkable music the region produces. Lately they have seen waves of destructive Islamic extremism and terrorism, at the same time that their governments make stumbling steps toward democracy.
