Political instability and your expat plans

Hello everyone, I am a content writer for Expat Magazine, and we are looking for the testimonials of expats in the Middle East for an upcoming article. We wanted to know if the escalating instability in the Middle East is affecting your plans as an expat. Has it affected your plans to stay in or leave your current location? Have you changed your short-term and long-term plans? How do you and other expats around you think that this will affect the future of expatriation in the area? Thank you in advance for sharing your testimonials with us.
