MENA

Region of Middle East and North Africa, "MENA" is an acronym. The term is more and more used in place of "Middle East", as it includes the Muslim countries of North Africa, countries that would object to be called Middle Eastern.
Still, there are several definitions of "MENA", LookLex used one in which non-Arabic states of Iran and
Turkey are added to the region of the Middle East, and the states of Sudan and Mauritania to the reigon of North Africa. Depending on point of view, the lands of Palestine and Western Sahara are included as they were countries.
