MENACS blog

MENACS will be running a blog series during the COVID-19 crisis. The blog will explore how the virus is affecting communities in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as other pressing issues in the region.

We encourage a plurality of perspectives and debates through the blog. The pieces reflect the individual views of the authors and are not representative of MENACS as a centre. Please contact MENACS if you are interested in submitting a blog piece:menacs@sussex.ac.uk.
