Mauritania Introduction Geography People Government ... Hotels Mauritania Introduction Top of Page Background: Independent from France in 1960, Mauritania annexed the southern third of the former Spanish Sahara (now Western Sahara) in 1976, but relinquished it after three years of raids by the Polisario guerrilla front seeking independence for the territory. Opposition parties were legalized and a new constitution approved in 1991. Two multiparty presidential elections since then were widely seen as being flawed; Mauritania remains, in reality, a one-party state. The country continues to experience ethnic tensions between its black minority population and the dominant Maur (Arab-Berber) populace.

Mauritania Africa GEOGRAPHY Mauritania is bordered by Algeria, Mali, Western Sahara (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) and Senegal. To the west lies the Atlantic Ocean. Mauritania consists mainly of the vast Saharan plain of sand and scrub. Most of this area is a sea of sand dunes, but in places the land rises to rocky plateaux with deep ravines leaving isolated peaks. The Adrar plateau in the central region rises to 500m (1640ft) and the Tagant further south to 600m (1970ft). The area is scattered with towns, small villages and oases. The northern bank of the Senegal River, which forms the country's southern border, is the only area in the country with any degree of permanent vegetation and it supports a wide variety of wildlife. Official Name: Islamic Republic of Mauritania Area: 1,030,070 sq. km. (419,212 sq. mi.); slightly larger than Texas and New Mexico combined.

The largely desert country has served as a crossroads between the Arab maghrib and western sub-Saharan Africa. As such, the mostly nomadic population has been divided between Arab-Berbers to the north and black Africans to the south. Mauritania is one of only three Arab countries that formally opened diplomatic relations with Israel in 2000. Geography Mauritania is a northern African country, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, between Senegal and Morocco-dominated Western Sahara, with a land area of 1,030,400 sq km. Historical background From the third to seventh centuries, the migration of Berber tribes from North Africa displaced the original inhabitants of present-day Mauritania, the Bafours. Continued Arab-Berber migration drove indigenous black Africans south to the Senegal river. By 1076, Muslim warrior monks (Al Murabitun) completed the conquest of southern Mauritania, defeating the ancient Ghana empire.
