Economic crisis, contestation of the leading Islamist parties, difficult affirmation of civil societies, manoeuvres of supporters of the old systems, frontiers issues: all the elements seem to be gathered for a new regional chaos. What prospects are offered today for both countries, in view of their internal dynamics and the region evolution?
