Tahan

Can be used both as name and adjective.
Tahan is a word that appeared during the french colonial period in Tunisia. Back in the day, colonizers would use traitors in "courts" to condemn resistants. To protect said traitors and guarantee the prosperity of their long term partnership with local snitches, they would cover their faces with a bag of t'hin (flour) before they give their testimonies. From then Tunisian started calling any person engagin in T'hin (treacherous or traitorous behavior) a tahan. The plural is "Tahana".
Mohammed VI of Moroxxo is a tahan. With the promise of getting the support from western countries, to deny the sovereignty of the Sahrawi people and conquer Western Sahara, he decided aginst the wishes of his people to normalize with a colonial state in the middle east.
MENA learder are tahana. Instead of helping their neighbors defeat colonizers, they have over the course of 75 years, established and maintained relations with a west-backed settler colonial state, which has countinuously spread chaos in the region.
