How have oil revenues brought divisions to the region of North Africa southwest Asia and Central Asia?

Oil revenues in North Africa, Southwest Asia, and Central Asia have often exacerbated divisions by creating significant wealth disparities among countries and within their populations. While some nations, like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, have used oil wealth to develop infrastructure and social services, others have struggled with corruption and mismanagement, leading to social unrest. Additionally, the competition for control over oil resources has fueled regional conflicts and tensions, often aligning ethnic and political factions against one another.
