As is known, the name "Africa" and the names of African countries refer to the lands of the black people (negro). There are extremist intellectual movements aiming to expel those who are not of black (negro) ethnicity from the Africa continent, such as Afrocentrism and their slogan "Africa for black Africans only." Therefore, I believe the solution to confront this ideology is to change the name of the continent and divide it into subregions geographical, similar to the Eurasia continent where there are several subregions divisions (such as Arabian Peninsula, India, and Europe). Hence, I chose an old name that was once used for this continent, which is "Libya". As for the names of the subregions, they are as follows:



" Maghrib" from the name of Al Maghreb Al Arabi, as mentioned in the books of ancient Arab geographers, encompassing Arabs, Amazigh, and those resembling them.

"Ethiopia," an ancient name used by the Greeks, encompassing East Sudan, Eritrea, and the state of Ethiopia, including Nubians, Beja, Habesha, Afar, Oromo, and those resembling them.

"Africa," which includes the lands of the black (negro) people.

"Somalia," encompassing all Somali territories.

Thus, we should promote this idea among non-black (negro) ethnicities on this continent, and I am confident that they will accept and adopt it because it will protect them from the harm of Afrocentrism.
