Increasing Islamist terrorist threats from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and ongoing ethnic violence between Africans and Arab-Berbers threaten the stability of Mauritania, a military-directed and mineral-rich nation. This impoverished and mostly desert country in northwest Africa gained its independence from France in 1960 and is one of the continent’s newest oil producers.The majority of Mauritania, the world’s first Islamic republic, lies within the Sahara. Mining operations and coastal fishing drive the country’s economy. Agriculture is confined mostly to narrow strips of land along the Sénégal River in southern Mauritania. Most of the country’s 3.4 million citizens reside in this region, except for the two major coastal cities of Nouakchott and Nouâdhibou. To grow its economy, the country intends to exploit offshore reserves of oil and natural gas.Mauritania has been somewhat stable since the 2008 military ouster of the nation’s first democratically elected government; it has experienced at least five successful military coups and numerous failed attempts since 1960.This book, produced by Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC), provides comprehensive information about Mauritania and the Hassaniya Culture.
