One significant obstacle to achieving democratic governments in the Middle East is the presence of extremist groups, such as ISIS or al-Qaeda. These organizations often exploit political instability and social unrest to gain power, undermining democratic processes and promoting authoritarianism. Additionally, they can instill fear in populations and governments alike, making it difficult for moderate forces to gain traction and implement democratic reforms. The interplay of these groups with existing political entities further complicates the pursuit of democracy in the region.
