Arab nationalist organizations

Arab nationalist organizations are groups that advocate for the unity and independence of Arab people across the Middle East and North Africa. They promote cultural identity, political sovereignty, and social justice, often inspired by a shared history and language. These organizations emerged prominently in the 20th century, reacting against colonialism and foreign influence. Notable examples include the Ba'ath Party in Syria and Iraq, and the Egyptian nationalist movement led by figures like Gamal Abdel Nasser. Their goals typically include the creation of a unified Arab state or cooperation among Arab nations, though they can differ significantly in ideology and approach.
