Maghreb

"This is the Maghreb. That's where the Berbers would like to live in there. Now that it's World War III in there, it's going to be nightmarish, like it's the Arab spring all over again, even for the Afrikakorps. You know that?"

--Su Ji-Hoon, The Battle for Maghreb

The Maghreb, also known as the Berber world, Barbary, or Berbery (Arabic: المغرب‎ Al-Maɣréb; Berber languages: Tamazɣa or Tamazgha, ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵗⴰ) is a major region of northern Africa that consists primarily of the countries Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania. It additionally includes the disputed territories of Western Sahara (mostly controlled by Morocco) and the cities of Melilla and Ceuta (both controlled by Spain and claimed by Morocco).
