Ahmed this can be a great Idea am one guy interested in the two counties and I believe your idea spirals around diversity, an aspect that is very significant. Once someone wanted to make this threads live on a website like forum models but the then volunteer faded to I do not know where after a few 'witty' challengers and commentators sprung, that Idea would have opened skunk to public but it did not even reach the 'problem identification cycle' (SDLC). In my opinion, your idea is noble.

Ahmed,

I think the essence of the mailing list is to integrate the community.
There is need to have separate communities since they address local
issues that might not elicit interest from other counties however
people can be encouraged to be on various mailing lists and cross post
when there is need to.

Best Regards
