Ride on the Iron-ore Train (cargo car) Zouerate-Nouadhibou, Mauritania
Visiting Ben Amera and Aishe Monoliths of Mauritania
I visited both monoliths in 2019 and plan to go back. Ben Amera is Africa's largest monolith rising 633m (2027ft) above the desert floor. It's the world's second largest (or third deending on interpretation) monolith only behind Uluru, in Australia. Locals will tell you that geologists think it might be larger than Uluru if the rock that lies beneath the Saharan sands were included in the measure of its size. Ben Amera is located in Mauritania, near the border with Western Sahara. It lies 4km north of the train track where the famous Iron Ore Train travels between Nouâdibhou and Choûm.

Nouakchott was a small village of little importance until 1958, when it was chosen as the capital of the nascent nation of Mauritania. It was designed and built to accommodate 15,000 people, but droughts and increasing desertification since the 1970s have displaced a vast number of Mauritanians who resettled in Nouakchott. This caused massive urban growth and overcrowding, with the city having an official population of just under a million as of 2013. The resettled population inhabited slum areas under poor conditions, but the living conditions of a portion of these inhabitants have since been ameliorated.

MAURITANIA 2019 nov SIMONETTA & NINO
MAURITANIA
Il suo nome deriva dalla parola fenicia “mahurim” che significa “uomo dell’Ovest” ed è l’anello di congiunzione tra il nord Africa arabo e l’Africa nera. Sul territorio della Mauritania, prevalentemente desertico, si incontrano due modelli di vita agli antipodi: quello sedentario e quello delle tribù nomadi. Dune di sabbia, altopiani rocciosi, montagne isolate e gole profonde caratterizzano il paesaggio, che è attraversato a sud dal fiume Senegal, lungo il cui passaggio sono nate oasi e pianure coltivate. Nonostante l’aspetto impervio e brullo, la Mauritania ha un fascino unico e possiede molte attrattive. Lungo la costa ci si può dedicare al surf e rilassarsi sulle spiagge mentre addentrandosi nell’entroterra si incontrano affascinanti cittadine carovaniere e le tende multicolori dei nomadi. Il paesaggio lunare dei suo altopiani centrali rende difficile credere che la Mauritania, un tempo, fosse una regione ricca di laghi, fiumi e vegetazione. Queste felici condizioni climatiche, ormai definitivamente scomparse, sono testimoniate dalle pitture rupestri lasciate dai bafour, i primi abitanti della regione che si stanziarono qui nel Neolitico. La causa dell’inaridimento del paese e dovuta all’espansione del Sahara, iniziata circa diecimila anni fa, ponendo così fine alla rigogliosa natura mauritana. Per questo nuovo ambiente, gli esseri umani modificarono il loro stile di vita e l’introduzione del cammello in Marocco, durante il III secolo a.C., permise l’arrivo in Mauritania dei primi nomadi berberi, che percorrevano lunghe distanze nel deserto e commerciavano sale, oro e schiavi. Deriva da questa circostanza storica il fatto che la Mauritania sia l’unico Stato dell’Africa dell’Ovest a essere governato da cittadini di tradizione nomade. Nouakchott La giovane capitale delle Mauritania nata nel 1960 dopo la proclamazione d’indipendenza del Paese, è divisa perfettamente in due dalla principale arteria commerciale cittadina: il viale Gamal-Abdel-Nasser. Il suo nome in berbero significa “legna cotta” e si trova sulla costa atlantica del deserto del Sahara. Quando venne edificata, la zona era caratterizzata da una distesa erbosa e fertile, ma l’azione del deserto ha ucciso la vegetazione e ora la sabbia si accumula lungo i muri e le palizzate della città. Nella parte settentrionale di Nouakchott si trovano le ville più eleganti e le residenze più lussuose circondate da alte mura color ocra. Il quartiere più antico della città si chiama Ksar ed era qui che l’aviatore Saint-Exupéry, il celebre autore de Il piccolo principe, amava trascorrervi molto tempo. Progettata per ospitare duecentomila abitanti, Nauakchott è attualmente abitata da circa seicentomila persone e questo ha provocato il fenomeno delle baraccopoli che occupano le zone periferiche della città. Nouakchott ospita un Museo Nazionale che rappresenta un’ottima introduzione allo stile di vita e alla cultura delle popolazioni nomadi della Mauritania. La capitale continua a essere, nonostante il suo ambizioso piano di sviluppo, una cittadina di pescatori e a metà pomeriggio è possibile assistere alla pittoresca scena del ritorno delle barche. Paese dei contrasti, se all’Ufficio Nazionale del Tappeto si può assistere alla tessitura a mano dei tappeti da parte delle donne, negli internet bar del centro ci si può collegare al resto del mondo pur trovandosi praticamente circondati dal Sahara.
