I haven’t written about facebook for a while now so I think an article is overdue. There were some very interesting news about facebook and the MENA region last week mainly the biggest gaining countries on facebook for the month of April.
According to Inside Facebook Egypt is the 7th biggest gainer on Facebook in April gaining about 0.5 M users which translates into a rise of 8.3% which comes as part of a 3-month growth rate of 38%. Which actually makes Egypt the highest country to gain facebook users percentage wise in the month of April. You can see a screenshot below:

Omar bin al-Khattab (the historical and key Islamic leader) page grew by 718,508 users in just one week which is quite impressive. As of today the paeg has 729K+ likes.
