The Bafours were primarily agriculturalist, among the first Saharan people to abandon their historically nomadic lifestyle. With the gradual desiccation of the Sahara, they headed South. Following them came a migration of not only Central Saharans into West Africa, but Berbers (North Africans of predominantly Middle Eastern ancestry) and Arabs as well. By the Eleventh Century AD, the once small Bafour people had grown into a very large and wealthy Soninke empire - Ghana Empire, which stretched from Mauritania into the neighboring states of Senegal and Mali. Likewise, in the North, the Arab-Berber population had achieved an impressive empire of their own, the territory of which stretched across the Mediterranean into Spain and Portugal. Local nomadic Berber tribes, on the other hand, though influential, remained largely without power, having been conquered by the Soninke. In 1076, Islam warrior monks (Almoravid or Al Murabitun) attacked and conquered the ancient Ghana Empire. Over the next 500 years, Arabs overcame fierce resistance from the local population (Berber and non-Berber alike) and came to dominate Mauritania. The Mauritanian Thirty-Year War (1644-74) was the unsuccessful final effort to repel the Yemeni Maqil Arab invaders led by the Beni Hassan tribe. The descendants of the Yemen Beni Hassan warriors became the upper stratum of Moorish society. Berbers retained influence by producing the majority of the region's Marabouts — those who preserve and teach Islamic tradition. Many of the Berber tribes proclaimed the origin of Yemen (as they sometimes did an Arab one); there is yet little evidence to suggest this, though some studies do link a connection between the two. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=11164198] Hassaniya, a mainly oral, Berber-influenced Arabic dialect that derives its name from the Yemeni Beni Hassan tribe, became the dominant language among the largely nomadic population. Aristocrat and servant castes developed, yielding "white" Moors (the aristocracy), kewri (the indigenous peoples who were never enslaved), and "black" Moors or haratin (the formerly enslaved). French colonization at the beginning of the 20th century brought legal prohibitions against slavery and an end to interclan warfare. During the colonial period, the population remained nomadic, but many sedentary peoples, whose ancestors had been expelled centuries earlier, began to trickle back into Mauritania. As the country gained independence in 1960, the capital city Nouakchott was founded at the site of a small colonial village, the Ksar, and 90% of the population was still nomadic. With independence, larger numbers of the indigenous peoples (Haalpulaar, Soninke, and Wolof) entered Mauritania, moving into the area north of the Senegal River. Educated in French_language and customs, many of these recent arrivals became clerks, soldiers, and administrators in the new state. Moors reacted to this change by increasing pressure to Arabize many aspects of Mauritanian life, such as law and language. A schism developed between those who consider Mauritania to be an Arab country (mainly Moors) and those who seek a dominant role for the non-Moorish peoples. The discord between these two conflicting visions of Mauritanian society was evident during intercommunal violence that broke out in April 1989 (the "1989 Events"), but has since subsided. The tension between these two visions remains a feature of the political dialogue. A significant number from both groups, however, seek a more diverse, pluralistic society. ==Politics== ''Main article: Politics of Mauritania'' Mauritania's presidential election, its third since adopting the democracy process in 1992, took place on November 7, 2003. Six candidates, including Mauritania's first female and first Haratine (former slave family) candidates, represented a wide variety of political goals and backgrounds. Incumbent President Maaouiya Sid'Ahmed Taya won reelection with 67.02% of the popular vote, according official figures, with second-place finisher Mohamed Haidallah. The PRDS, led by President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya, has dominated Mauritanian politics since the country's first multi-party elections in April 1992 following the approval by referendum of the current constitution in July 1991. President Taya, who won elections in 1992 and 1997, first became chief of state through a December 12, 1984 bloodless coup which made him chairman of the committee of military officers that governed Mauritania from July 1978 to April 1992. The country's first president, Moktar ould Daddah, served from independence until ousted in a bloodless coup on July 10, 1978. A group of current and former Army officers launched a bloody but unsuccessful coup attempt on June 8, 2003. The ringleaders remain at large, and their exact motives remain unclear. Politics in Mauritania have always been heavily influenced by personalities, with any leader's ability to exercise political power dependent upon control over resources; perceived ability or integrity; and tribal, ethnic, family, and personal considerations. Conflict between white Moor, black Moor, and non-Moor ethnic groups, centering on language, land tenure, and other issues, continues to be the dominant challenge to national unity. The government bureaucracy is composed of traditional ministries, special agencies, and parastatal companies. The Ministry of Interior controls a system of regional governors and prefects modeled on the French system of local administration. Under this system, Mauritania is divided into 13 regions (wilaya), including the capital district, Nouakchott. Control is tightly concentrated in the executive branch of the central government, but a series of national and municipal elections since 1992 have produced some limited decentralization. Political_party, illegal during the military period, were legalized again in 1991. By April 1992, as civilian rule returned, 16 major political parties had been recognized; 12 major political parties were active in 2004. Most opposition parties boycotted the first legislative election in 1992, and for nearly a decade the parliament has been dominated by the PRDS. The opposition participated in municipal elections in January-February 1994 and subsequent Senate elections, most recently in April 2004, gaining representation at the local level as well as three seats in the Senate. Mauritania, along with Morocco illegally annexed the territory of Western Sahara in 1976, with Mauritania taking the lower one-third. After several military losses to Polisario, Mauritania retreated in 1979, and their claims were taken by Morocco. Due to economic weakness, Mauritania has been a neglibile player in the territorial dispute, with its official position being that it wishes for an expedient solution that is mutually agreeable by all parties. ==Regions== ''Main article: Regions of Mauritania'' Mauritania is divided into 12 regions (capitals in parentheses): *Adrar (Atar, Mauritania) *Assaba (Kifa) *Brakna (Aleg) *Dakhlet Nouadhibou (Nouadhibou) *Gorgol (Kaédi) *Guidimaka (Sélibaby) *Hodh Ech Chargui (Néma) *Hodh El Gharbi (Ayoun el Atrous) *Inchiri (Akjoujt) *Tagant (Tidjikdja) *Tiris Zemmour (F'dérik) *Trarza (Rosso) The national capital, Nouakchott, comprises a capital district. ==Geography== ''Main article: Geography of Mauritania'' ==Economy== ''Main article: Economy of Mauritania'' Mauritania and Madagascar are the only countries not to use a decimal currency. ==Demographics== ''Main article: Demographics of Mauritania'' ==Culture== ''Main article: Culture of Mauritania'' * Music of Mauritania * Islam in Mauritania * Status of religious freedom in Mauritania ==Miscellaneous topics== * Communications in Mauritania * Transportation in Mauritania * Military of Mauritania * List of cities in Mauritania ==References== *CIA World Factbook *US State Department [http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/5474.htm] ==External links== ===Government=== *[http://www.mauritania.mr/fr/index.php République Islamique de Mauritanie] official government site *[http://www.mauritania.mr/assemblee/ Assemblée Nationale Mauritanienne] official site ===News=== *[http://allafrica.com/mauritania/ AllAfrica.com - ''Mauritania''] news headline links ===Overviews=== *[http://www.al-bab.com/arab/countries/mauritania.htm Arab Gateway - ''Mauritania''] *[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/middle_east/country_profiles/791083.stm BBC News Country Profile - ''Mauritania''] *[http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/mr.html CIA World Factbook - ''Mauritania''] *[http://lcweb2.loc.gov/frd/cs/mrtoc.html Library of Congress Country Study - ''Mauritania''] data as of June 1988 ===Directories=== *[http://search.looksmart.com/p/browse/us1/us317916/us559898/us559899/us10065674/us559934/ Looksmart - ''Mauritania''] directory category *[http://dmoz.org/Regional/Africa/Mauritania/ Open Directory Project - ''Mauritania''] directory category *[http://www-sul.stanford.edu/depts/ssrg/africa/mauritan.html Stanford University - Africa South of the Sahara: ''Mauritania''] directory category *[http://www.afrika.no/index/Countries/Mauritania/ The Index on Africa - ''Mauritania''] directory category *[http://www.sas.upenn.edu/African_Studies/Country_Specific/Mauritania.html University of Pennsylvania - African Studies Center: ''Mauritania''] directory category *[http://dir.yahoo.com/Regional/Countries/Mauritania/ Yahoo! - ''Mauritania''] directory category ===Tourism=== * Mauritania Arab League African Union member states la:Mauretania lv:Mauritānija ms:Mauritania nds:Mauretanien

Where does the information that Wolof is an official language of Mauritania come from? Does anyone see the need to delete the individual pages of the Mauritanian regions? User:Vincent Gray 01:30, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC) == regions == Why have the regions being listed on this page now? Every other country has an individual page for each of it's regions - why should Mauritania be any different. Granted, they may not be full of detail, but that's beside the point. They may not look much, but maps will be added soon enough for each region in the same vein as Lesotho or Djibouti. Besides, the move is pointless without the deletion of the individual region pages. I'm tempted to remove the regions on this main page, but I'll wait for a reply first. - sdrawkcab "The Bafours were primarily agriculturalist, among the first Saharan people to abandon their historically nomadic lifestyle." So were they agricultural or nomadic? Can someone clear that up thanks.
