Democracy Promotion in North Africa

Dana Moss, the Next Generation fellow at The Washington Institute, points out in the Christian Science Monitor that while the U.S. provides Morocco $110 million annually to address “drivers of youth disaffection,” Washington lacks a policy for promoting human rights and political reform in Tunisia and Algeria. “In conjunction with European partners, a far more detailed and extensive program of scholarships, technical expertise assistance, civic education, English language programs, and other development programs should be offered to Tunisia and Algeria.”
