    The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has experienced major improvements in health over the past few decades. 1 Today, on average, a girl born in Egypt is expected to live for 72 years-nearly 20 years longer than if she had been born in the early 1970s-owing in large part to a 70 percent improvement in infant mortality rates over the same time period.

    Predictions believe that cyber warfare between nations will increase in 2016, with more precedent attacks from Russia, Iran, Israel, and the US. Cyberspace and its warfare currently lack regulation, in addition it is difficult to trace back or pin a cyber crime on a single individual.

    After an international agreement involving Iran the nature of their cyber program has shifted. The change was from flagrant cyber attacks to cripple other nations and business' computer networks to cyber espionage, focusing on infiltrating and accessing documents relevant to Iran. Due to the softer nature it is harder for nations to respond with retaliation or outrage to Iran's cyber offensive.

    It is interesting to see how the conflict has affected the borders between Syria and Turkey. After allowing movement across the border, Turkey is now demanding a "secure line" be created inside Syria. This is especially interesting because those regions have been somewhat fought over between both countries over the past century.

    The depth of US plans for a cyber war go beyond just the offense of the Stuxnet virus. The US had a contingency plan with nuclear Iranian facilities pinned as key target in case of an all out cyber war. The plans were drafted at the height of fear of Iran's development of potential nuclear weapons.
