The problem with the "Arabian Spring" is more a social then a technical problem. As long as certain influential parts of society stay "anti science", it will be difficult to change anything there.
If we look back in time, during the 9th to 12th century Bagdad was THE center of learning, knowledge and exchange of knowledge by all kinds of cultures... but then the "social climate" towards science changed.
Not sure Handwavium will be that helpful to change it again.
