A friend of mine, who is Morrocan, he hates being called as Middle Eastern and he calls himself as African while another friend of mine, who is Egyptian, he hates being called as African and he always call himself as Egyptian or Middle Eastern.

So the question is, if you are from North Africa, how do you view yourself, do you call yourself more as Middle Eastern or African or North African ?

For example: I am Turkish, I call my country as Middle Eastern, West Asian but also Near Eastern, what about you ?
