Can somebody confirm that these are the correct capital cities of several middle-eastern (and some african) countries?


Marocco - Rabat (Although English is Morocco)
Western Sahara - ** Laoyoune
Mauritanie - Nouakchott (Mauritania)
Mali - Bamako
Libya - Tripoli
Tunisia - Tunis
Algeria - Algiers
Egypt - Cairo
Sudan - Khartoum
Nigeria - Niamey (Niger is Niamey, Nigeria is Abuja)
Turkey - Ankara
Syria - Damascus
Iran - Tehran
Irak - Bagdad (English spelling is Baghdad, not sure on the Iraqi spelling though)
Saudi Arabia - Riyadh
Yemen - Sanaa
Oman - Muscat
United Arab Emirates - Abu Dhabi
Qatar - Doha
Kuwait - Kuwait
Georgia - Tiblisi (English spelling is Tbilisi)
Azarbaijan - Baku
Armenia - Yerevan
Uzbekistan - Taşkent (English spelling is Tashkent, although as they are more likely to speak a variant of Turkish there, use the Turkish S)
Turkmenistan - Ashgabat (Also written as Ashkhabad, but again I think that is the English version)
Kazachstan - Astana (Kazakhstan - Apparently can also be called Akmola)
Afghanistan - Kabul
Pakistan - Islamabad

Ok thanks a lot!! Well spelling is always a problem, since I actualyl need to know them in Dutch. But I think if Im consequent in writing them all in English, it will be allright.

Thanks a lot, especially for pointi,ng out Niger and Nigeria are two different countries!!

deli kizin
i will kill you
for calling kazakhstan a middle eastern country!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
its in a central asia! and the western part of it is in the eastern europe!

so is about azerbaydjan, kirgizstan, uzbekistan (assholes could join the middle east!) cetral asiaaaaaaa!

and kazakhstans capital is astana (not akmola)
was almaty (my dear city of my dear studenthood)

FF, I am well aware that Kazachstan is not in the Middle-East, it was one of the first things I protested about in college Post-Sviet central asia looks fixed on the map but is ambiguous in practice. But we actually study both Middle-East and Central Asia then they pointed out nicely that when we look from socio-geopolitics, Kazachstan sometimes can be in both spheres. Actually many writers speak of 'Central Asia and Kazachstan', instead of putting it in one of the two

As for Almatay, the Slavic population, including russians, live in the northern oblast regions, were the capital was replaced, so that it would be closer to the centre of population and show unity of the country (since Kazachs form less than a majority of Kazachstan). Alma-ata got changed into Almaty, so that it matched the Kazakh-language rules.

I hope to have won back your love with this information that I studied for my exam on monday
