So for my Advanced Geography class I have to do a Middle East Current Event Article. This is what my teacher wants me to do,

STEP 1
-Learn about newspaper research practices.
-Find an article from a reputable source about a current event from the "Middle East".
-Less than 1 year old
-The current event is impacted by one of the following factors:
-Shape of the state
-Physical boundaries
-Cultural boundaries
- Changes in boundaries
This is mostly what I have to do. I have been searching for a current event and can't find one that meets the requirements. Please help me find one. Any help is greatly appreciated
