Mauritania i/mɔːrɪˈteɪniə/ (Arabic: موريتانيا Mūrītānyā; Berber: Muritanya or Agawej; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane; Pulaar: Moritani), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in the Maghreb region of western North Africa. It is the eleventh largest country in Africa and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Morocco and the remnants of Western Sahara in the north, Algeria in the northeast, Mali in the east and southeast, and Senegal in the southwest.
The country derives its name from the ancient Berber Kingdom of Mauretania, which existed from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD, in the far north of modern-day Morocco. Approximately 90% of Mauritania's land is within the Sahara and consequently the population is concentrated in the south, where precipitation is slightly higher. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast, which is home to around one-third of the country's 3.5 million people. The government was overthrown on 6 August 2008, in a military coup d'état led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. On 16 April 2009, Aziz resigned from the military to run for president in the 19 July elections, which he won.

The camel patrol of desert mehardists scour the desert for terrorists. The Mauritanian army camels have a strategic advantage over off-road vehicles: they don't make noise like jeeps and, above all, they don't stir up dust that could be seen for miles by jihadists. The camel unit helps protect people and solar power projects based in this arid land, to make #Mauritania safer for all.

What you are looking at is a massive circular feature within Mauritania. It is a truly beautiful geologic oddity largely only visible from satellite. Known as the “Eye of the Sahara”, it is a spectacular 40 kilometer or 25 mile wide feature which contrasts with the overall coloration of the surrounding landscape. It formed approximately 100 million years ago due to a series of geologic events. This video will discuss this spectacular feature and describe how it formed.

Mauritania and the old art
The Nomadic Women of Mauritania create some of the world's most beautiful beads. One type, the Kiffa bead is considered the epitome of beadmaking. Coral, Amber, Amazonite and other semi precious gemstones make up just some of the materials along with shell and glass, these true artists utilize in making some very complex beads using the most primitive tools and methods.
Dans sa lutte contre le terrorisme, la Mauritanie a relancé les opérations du Groupement Nomade pour empêcher la prise de contrôle des villages par des groupes islamistes. La mission des méharistes mauritaniens est d’assurer la paix et la sécurité dans le Sahel, une région tourmentée le long de la frontière avec le Mali, classée zone rouge, formellement déconseillée aux étrangers. Les rebelles islamistes sont implantés dans le désert et mènent régulièrement des actions de guérilla et de terrorisme au Mali et au Niger. Les patrouilles à dos de dromadaire ont un avantage stratégique sur les 4x4 de l’armée, qui font du bruit et surtout dégagent de la poussière qui se voit à des kilomètres. Pour aider les populations, l’Union Européenne a entrepris la construction de puits à énergie solaire...
