North Africans
Mediterranean's southern residents
North Africans are people from the countries along Africa's Mediterranean coast—Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt, sometimes including Mauritania and Sudan.
The region has distinct cultural ties to both the Arab world and sub-Saharan Africa.
North Africans have influenced European cuisine for centuries.
The term appears in demographic discussions, immigration debates, and questions of racial classification, where North Africans occupy an ambiguous position in systems designed around starker divisions.
