Abstract :
One of the most contradictory media scenes is the Middle East &North Africa (MENA), which is a reflection of its rather contrasting,and troubled societies that suffer from the negative effects of imposed democracies, and the internal tripled-edged syndromes of illness, poverty and illiteracy.
