12/1/11, "Corruption fanned global political unrest says watchdog," BBC
"An anti-bribery watchdog has said corruption played a key role in the political upheaval in the Middle East and across the world in 2011....
Meanwhile, Somalia, North Korea and Afghanistan were ranked most corrupt.
Most Arab Spring countries rank in the lower half of the index," it said in a statement.
It said it had issued a warning about corruption in the region as early as last year, saying that "nepotism, bribery and patronage were so deeply engrained in daily life that even
- existing anti-corruption laws had little impact"."
