Sephardi JEWS and Mizrahi JEWS who primarily live in the Maghreb of NORTH AFRICA, including Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia, as well as Sudan and Egypt. Some were established early in the diaspora; others after the expulsion from Iberia in the late 15th century.
“SOUTH AFRICAN JEWS, who are mostly ASKENAZI JEWS descended from pre-Holocaust immigrant Lithuanian Jews…But life BEGAN in AFRICA so, how would JEWS descend from LITHUANIA?
Beta Israel living primarily in the Amhara and Tigray regions of Ethiopia and sparsely in Eritrea.
Berber Jews, the majority”

The term is sometimes used to cover all Haredi Jews who follow an ASKENAZI, non-Hasidic style of life and learning, whatever their ethnic background.[2] The area where Lithuanian Jews lived is referred to in Yiddish as ליטע Lite, hence the Hebrew term Lita'im (לִיטָאִים).[3]
