Nereal has become one of the key resources for social commentary concerning contemporary Arab matters. The website incorporates opinion-based commentary and satire to explore topics such as human rights, elections, economic crises, and conflicts. However, by virtue of being an online news platform, Nereal operates within and underlines the unspoken intersection of satire, opposition, power, humor, language, internet culture, global politics, economic crisis, human rights, pop culture, Arab statecraft, institutions, mobilizations, intersection and connections of mineral resources and isolation.
