Sunni Iraqis will never ever want to live under the current Iraqi government,
which is mainly controlled by Shiite Iraqis. Sunni Iraqis were rich and
powerful during the Saddam's rule and now they are poor and discriminated
against. They will fight for the Sunni Iraq state and take their part from Iraq.

The Houthis will always fight for their lands and Sunni Yemenis who are
supported by Saudi Arabia will never accept it. It the end, Yemen won’t see
good days before the Houthis have their own state.

Sunni Syrians will always fight for Sunni Syria. The current government of
Syria is controlled by Alawite communities. They won’t let Sunni Syrians,
which comprise ~75% of the total Syrian population, control Syria. In the end,

After World War I, the western countries divided the Middle East. The newly created
borders did not correspond to the actual sectarian, tribal, or ethnic distinctions on the

spent more than 350–450 billion dollars to control its Kurdish minority.

The western countries have kept all those Middle Eastern countries "alive", by selling
them weapons. The root of the problem is the Sykes-Picot agreement. Mr.Sykes and
Picot divided the Middle East, according to their interests. The new borders were
artificial, not natural. The West must think how they can fix those borders, otherwise
they will come to fix the west: Europe faces 10 MILLION MORE refugees from Middle
East as crisis spirals, politician warns .
