Our Story and Mission

In 2014, after 5 years of building the Aslan Media global brand of independent journalism, the Aslan Media Initiatives team (led by Founder Reza Aslan) has shifted its projects. We are proud of what we have achieved and are looking forward.

Through the Aslan Media brand, our team of global, passionate youth have created and grown an online community that supports constructive and authentic dialogue about MENA(SA), holding that space for the best of civil discourse. Since our inception, we grew readership to over 100 countries at the height of our activities, and a social media following of over 50,000 people across our various points of social activity.

Now, we continue our work in a new direction. Here at Mideastinfo.com you will find our latest endeavor to educate and inform about the greater Middle East (MENASA). It's often difficult to find accurate and consolidated information about countries and regions of the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Here, in this wiki, we work to provide a truly first of its kind online space where users can search and find accurate and researched information on topics ranging from politics, and history, to travel and culture. With vetted, knowledgeable, and trusted content editors, we work every day to add more information to this site for you.
