Hello Ahmed,
we're working on improvements in the mentoring process to avoid such
situations. Please bear with us.
If we have strong demand in Arabic, I think it makes sense to have a
mentor there because it's always better if the mentor is closer to the
candidate. If you come up with a trusted and experienced ambassador from
the region who is willing to be a mentor, I can propose him to FAmSCo.
