Same same. SMEX is based in Lebanon — (S)WANA is an obnoxious term that’s going around for MENA.


We don't know what any of these acronyms mean!


MENA - Middle East & North Africa

WANA - West Asia & North Africa

SMEX - "a non-profit that advocates for and advances human rights in digital spaces across West Asia and North Africa." (from their website)


"non-profit" doesn't mean "this guys are morally right and only conveys truths"

it just means that they don't pay taxes


"Arab countries"
