10 Reactions to Brexit from The Arab World
Great Britain has officially left the EU and Arabs (along with the rest of the world) have taken to Twitter to express their thoughts about this drastic move.

The results of the British referendum to leave the EU are in and it seems a British Exit, better known as Brexit, is officially happening.

Here's what they've been saying:
