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"
