Perfect match

Is it just me or is it hard to find a girl with the same interests as you ( for marriage purposes of course). I know liking the same things is not as important as good morals and loyalty. However I can’t help myself wanting for a deeper connection, something to do together, to talk about. In our community people like to keep they’re hobbies hidden and it’s quite difficult to break that wall to get to know if this person compatible with you. Anyway i just felt writing this what do you think

Question about Mauritanian National Independent Election Commission (CENI) - are they always accused of corruption this much?

In the past week, CENI was accused of corruption by:

  • 1 journalist revealed that 2 politicians were offered their desired seat in exchange for financial bribery
  • 1 political party calling for the repeat of 2023 elections
  • an auto dealership that cancelled their contract after rumors of corruption arose
  • multiple ppl through social media accuse them of electronic tampering

CENI denies all these by:

  • conducting training sessions for local and regional election subcommissions
  • releasing a statement saying they are ready for elections 2024
  • replying directly to the journalist and political party, among others, trying to destroy their political reputation for questioning their accuracy

These all sound too frequent to be happening within a span of a week. Is this normal? Will this lead to something? How do you think does this affect the upcoming elections?

I appreciate your replies. Ramadan Kareem.

Azawad (red) green tea in New York City

Does anyone know where I can find Azawad red green tea in New York City? My Mauritanian bodega owner really misses it and I want to give him some once Ramadan is over. Can't find it for order online either.

Thanks in advance!

Do you identify as Arab

Hey, I'm currently working on my Bachelor's thesis, it explores the complexities of the "Arab" identity and how its hard to tell who really is Arab (ie: is it ethnic, is it cultural, linguistic, etc.) and I was wondering what your thoughts are on this subject.

I've created this little survey for my methodology, I would love if you could answer it (if not that's all good too!!)

How is the Ramadan experience in Mauritania?

And would someone who’s never lived in a hot climate struggle to fast in Mauritania for the first time?

French language

I'm going to be travelling in Mauritania in the coming months and I was wondering if French or english would be more useful to get around? Also how is the French language perceived over there? I speak english and a few other languages. My French isn't great but I can brush up to a good level of French a lot quicker than I can learn Arabic from the start 😂 thanks in advance ❤

Planning a visit to Mauritania

Hey, I'm Oisín, I'm from Ireland. I'm planning a trip around West/North West Africa. I want to come from Morocco, to Mauritania and on to Senegal. My question is though within Mauritania I know of the ore train and I would love to try go on it through your beautiful country. Is it really as random as everyone seems to say or is there any way of figuring out when it's coming, where its going and when to get on? Is it illegal or completely casual?

Also a small side question, is it possible to get out to the Richat structure, if so how? And of course if anyone has any Recommendations please let me know! Thank you all, Shukhran!

Slavery in Mauritania

There have been numerous reports a couple years back that Mauritania still practiced slavery.

What do the locals think of this and how true is it? Are there slave markets?

Prices of border crossings

Me and a friend are planning a backpacking trip from Germany to Senegal. It is hard to find any informations about the border crossings except that you should not use Rosso which i had heard from multiple people. My question would be how expensive the crossing Morocco -> Mauritania and Mauritania -> Senegal currently is with Visa and everything. In another post on the subreddit someone wrote "4k" but this can hardly be right as 4000€ would be insane. Which currency is meant and if you have any knowledge: How expensive is the bus across the border from Morocco? We are travelling on a budget and this would be something we cannot circumvent.

How are the Quran schools lately in mouritane? It’s been a while since I’ve went to one.

Inshallah I want to complete my hifdh at a Quran school when I’m back in mouritane this summer. Any suggestions? And how is the teaching like. Does the memorization go with qiraat styles or just tajweed?

Landing in Mauritania in 2 weeks

Hi,

I’m coming to Mauritania in 2 weeks for the first time. Do you have any advice that I should be aware of? Maybe some practical tips to do with money, visa, local customs, how not to get scanned or overcharged?

Are Black people the majority of Mauritania?

I keep reading that Mauritania is 70% Black and 30% Beidane. But every thing I watched from Mauritania on TV and YouTube makes me think it’s the other way around. I wonder if my perception is wrong, or the numbers listed on the internet are.
