Interesting to see that according to 23andMe 'Cypriots' are Northern West Asian people

its more weird to see that 23andMe places Sudan with Sub-Saharan African when it should be with the other group North African/West Asian
I saw a DNA result of a Sudan guy on Reddit and he didn't look black at all, but since Sudan is placed in the SSA category, people were surprise he was pred "black" (meaning Sudanese) and looked like him

23andMe needs some fixing to do

What I don't understand about my results is why I don't get any ancestry from Southern Kurdistan (Shengal area). Instead I get 6 administrative regions in Iran. Why Iran? As far as I know I don't have any ancestors from Iran. Maybe it is because Persians developed from the Kurds and that those people in Iran are actually from Kurdistan.

dont many Persians on their Gedmatch have Kurdish as one of their top matches? I remember seeing something like it on TA (but I could be tripping out)

Sudanese are pretty black, usually. I wanna see this.
