Honestly it's practically non existent. if for a millennia that entire region never changed, its because there's groups that simply wont allow "peace" to exist there. Because to have peace it means all those years of death and violence would amount to nothing because someone can say "why did it take this long and this many bodies to get to this point". They need the violence to justify their existence in the first place. its just more business and geopolitical nonsense under the guise of "religious devotion".
