Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Has anyone done a correlational analysis of violence and stability in Middle Eastern region by rate of SS African admixture?
Most of MENA has much less sub-Saharan admixture than any Caribbean country or Brazil (which is where most of these studies are conducted). The primary viable country I can see for analysis would be Sudan, which has a large Arab and a large black population (even after South Sudanese secession).
That said, I also understand that in Sudan, the roaming janjaweed bands of semi-nomadic youths who rape, steal and kill in Darfur (and who now make up a substantial part of the RSF’s troops) are predominantly Arab, while their victims are predominantly black/indigenous pastoralists.
