The Sunni-Shi’a Islamic divide has been a main contributor to the sea change gripping the Middle East and North Africa, as evinced in the tumultuous Arab Spring.

To further highlight the importance of this dichotomy between Sunni and Shi’a Islam, and its impact on Australia, AACCI and Thomsons Lawyers are hosting a major event in Adelaide on Tuesday, February 14th February. Titled, “Business Risks and Opportunities in the Middle East”, this event will provide key insights into the various opportunities and threats for Australian business in the Middle East and North Africa.
