Maybe the oceanbuilding process between Africa and Asia stopped after I finished my MSc in Geoscience 10 years ago, but I doubt it.

It’s only moving away from Arabia.

Never said it would move away from anything else.

This snarky argument from authority is redundant given that the facts are extremely easy to understand and outlined in the Wikipedia article I cited.

The biggest gap between Africa and Eurasia (PS; we agree that Europe is not a continent) is the Mediterranean sea, and it is getting smaller. That does seem relevant.
