Afghanistan does not appear in that middle east map, what region do we put Afghanistan in?

It's more Central or South Asia

pretty much considered both South Asian and Central Asian. It's no more Middle Eastern than Turkmenistan or Pakistan

The Middle East is basically just West Asia (sometimes known as South-West Asia) minus Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia and plus two transcontinental countries; Turkey (mostly in Asia except for East Thrace in Europe) and Egypt (mostly in Africa except for the Sinai Peninsula in Asia)
