|  Settling for More or Less?
Bedouin extremists’ alleged involvement in recent terror attacks has put the spotlight squarely on the nation’s most fragile ethnic minority as it grapples with extremism, poverty, unemployment and genetic diseases caused by inbreeding. With distrust between the tribes and Cairo running high, are resettlement campaigns an option?
F ew images can serve as an icon for the entire Middle East. Of those that can, none are as evocative as the Bedouin. Since time immemorial, romantic notions of the desert wanderer-warriors, whose traditional lands stretch from eastern North Africa to the eastern-most edges of Saudi Arabia, have captured the imaginations of more sedentary people from East and West alike.
