on the contrary, the term MENA reflects realities more than the term “Arab world” which is too reductive. The term MENA highlights a distinction between North Africans (Amazigh) and Middle Easterners (who are not all Arabs), but while not denying the deep cultural and social ties that unite these two regions: languages Afro-Asian, Islam for more than a millennium, different but similar traditions and customs. To conclude, the term MENA is correct, because it highlights ethnic and regional diversity while taking into account the deep ties that unite these two regions.

Throughout history, the North African countries were never united under the so-called “Tamzgha region”….the term is new and it was coined in late seventies to combat Arabization in the region. You can not divide North Africa and the middle east. It’s impossible. Both regions share lots of things in common: religion, language, history to mention a few. Personally, I consider myself an Arab even if I was born and I grew in Morocco. Majority of Moroccans are very proud to be Arabs and they are ready to preserve the heritage of their ancestors.
