Stability the key to a better future

The importance of stability both in a political and a social sense can never be overestimated when it comes to economic development and social progress. What is often over-looked by some is that progress in human civilization is always achieved in a society that enjoys a long period of peace.

No one can tell what will be the outcome of the current political and social turmoil that has erupted in some countries in North Africa and Middle East. But what is undeniable is the fact that people in those countries are suffering.

I don't believe that most of the residents in these countries welcome such unrest, it is only those who can fish in such troubled waters.
