map of Mauritania Africa
Mauritania ; Arabic: موريتانيا, Mūrītānyā, French: Mauritanie; Berber: Agawej or Cengit; Pulaar: 𞤃𞤮𞤪𞤭𞤼𞤢𞤲𞤭 Moritani; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (Arabic: الجمهورية الإسلامية الموريتانية), is a sovereign state in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. Mauritania is the eleventh largest country in Africa, and 90 percent of its territory is situated in the Sahara. Most of its population of 4.4 million lives in the temperate south of the country, with roughly one third concentrated in the capital and largest city, Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.
The country's name derives from the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania, located in present-day Morocco and Algeria. Berbers occupied what is now Mauritania beginning in the third century AD. Arabs conquered the area in the eighth century, bringing Islam, Arab culture, and the Arabic language. In the early 20th century, Mauritania was colonized by France as part of French West Africa. It achieved independence in 1960, but has since experienced recurrent coups and periods of military dictatorship. The most recent coup, in 2008, was led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who won subsequent presidential elections in 2009 and 2014. He was succeeded by Mohamed Ould Ghazouani following the 2019 elections, which were considered Mauritania's first peaceful transition of power since independence.
Mauritania is culturally and politically part of the Arab world: it is a member of the Arab League and Arabic is the sole official language. Reflecting its colonial heritage, French is widely spoken and serves as a lingua franca. The official religion is Islam, and almost all inhabitants are Sunni Muslims. Despite its prevailing Arab identity, Mauritanian society is multiethnic: the Bidhan, or so-called white moors, make up 30 percent of the population, while the Haratin, or so-called black moors, comprise 40 percent. Both groups reflect a fusion of Arab-Berber ethnicity, language, and culture. The remaining 30 percent of the population is made up of various sub-Saharan ethnic groups.
Despite an abundance of natural resources, including iron ore and petroleum, Mauritania remains poor; its economy is based primarily on agriculture, livestock, and fishing. Mauritania is known for its poor human rights record, most notably the continued practice of slavery, a result of a historical caste system between the Bidhan and Haratin. It was the last country in the world to abolish slavery, in 1981 and criminalized it only in 2007. Control is tightly concentrated in the executive branch of the central government, but a series of national and municipal elections since 1992 have produced limited decentralization. These regions are subdivided into 44 departments (moughataa). The regions and capital district (in alphabetical order) and their capitals are:

#salamNouakchott #Nouakchott WIKIPEDIA :
Le nom de cette ville, Nouakchott ou Noiakchott (نواكشوط en Arabe) selon les retranscriptions, a donné lieu à plusieurs traductions, dont cinq principales :
« lieu où apparaît l'eau quand on creuse un puits »
« terrain où les coquillages abondent »
« l'endroit au pâturage salé »
« là où souffle le vent »
« le sans-oreilles »
Chott peut signifier « plage » ou « estran ». Noua en arabe hassaniya (dialecte maure) serait « baie ». On traduirait littéralement Nouakchott par « la plage de la baie ». Bien que le littoral mauritanien ne présente aucune baie aux abords de Nouakchott, la forme de la côte y est légèrement creuse. Nouakchott était à l'origine un camp militaire français, construit de toutes pièces, où les Mauritaniens n'avaient pas l'habitude de séjourner. Le nom serait donc apparu tardivement (début du xxe siècle).
Les principaux quartiers, constituant des communes urbaines administratives, sont :
Araffat
Dar Naim
El Mina
Ksar
Riyadh
Sebkha
Tevragh Zeina (c'est le nôtre)
