This community should include North Africa
المغرب أقرب لي ثقافيا ولغويا من تركيا أو إيران
Certainly, without a doubt, if it weren't for discoverability, one could label this community as "South West Asia," emphasizing that the term "Middle East" carries colonial connotations.
Nonetheless, it's crucial to clarify that this community specifically focuses on the Middle East. While Israel, Turkey, Iran, and Kurdistan each boast their unique sub-cultures, their citizens also fall under the broader umbrella of being Middle Eastern.
طبعاً اخوانا في شمال أفريقيا مرحب فيهم هنا 🇪🇬🇱🇾🇹🇳🇩🇿🇲🇦
Can you change the community's name to MENA? I don't care that ME carries colonial connotations, including Isra*l in the community is itself an acceptance of colonialism.
Zionist ideologies aren't tolerated. I would never tolerate Zionist ideas on here. Such posts will be removed and users will be banned.
I will be changing the name :)
تسلم لي
المشكة فهمي بسيط عن شمال افريقيا، ما بعرف كثير شو بدور عندهم على المستوى السياسي او الاجتماعي.
