Egypt’s businesses are beginning to recover from the political unrest there. Tunisia, meanwhile, having faced similar unrest recently, is now trying to rebuild itself after decades of corruption.

Google’s marketing executive in Egypt has been freed from detainment; the company itself has been walking the line of corporate interests and politics.
