Topic: Adrar, Mauritania


  
  Mauritania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mauritania (Arabic: موريتانية Mūrītāniyyah), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in northwest Africa.
From the 5th to 7th centuries, the migration of Berber tribes from North Africa displaced the Bafours, the original inhabitants of present-day Mauritania and the ancestors of the Soninke.
Mauritania is generally flat, its 1,030,700 square kilometers (397,850 sq mi) forming vast, arid plains broken by occasional ridges and clifflike outcroppings.

 Mauritania travel guide - Wikitravel
Geographically part of the Maghreb, Mauritania borders Algeria, Senegal and Mali, along with the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
Mauritania is about desert and ocean, and sometimes both at the same time.
The main attractions are the desert in Adrar and Tagant areas (around Atar), and the ocean in Banc d'Arguin (a natural reserve with dunes ending in the sea, full of millions of birds and protected by UNESCO).

 Mauritania Travel Tips
The Adrar Region is one of the main attractions in Mauritania, offering both accessibility, dramatic nature and green oases.
Adrar's proud history is as recent as until the French colonization, and opposition to Nouakchott has been staged several times during the time of Nouakchott's independence.
Agriculture of Adrar is dominated by dates, but in specifically endowed regions millet, sorghum, barley, tomatoes and green vegetables are also grown.

 The Adrar Mountains, Mauritania - Chasing the Lizard’s Tail
The town of Atâr lies on the western cusp of the Adrar massif, of which it is the regional capital as well as its largest settlement (it has a population of around 20,000).
The Adrar, together with the adjoining Tagant Mountains, is the historic heartland of Mauritania, and effectively shelters Atâr from both the trade wind and the Harmattan, and therefore from most of the sand.
The Adrar is one of the Sahara's six major microcosms, and is without doubt Mauritania's most important agricultural region, producing dates, millet, sorghum, barley, watermelons, tobacco and vegetables, albeit in quantities nowhere near large enough to make any impression on Mauritania's massive import requirements.

 Mauritania - French Colony - Pacification
Although he served in Mauritania for only four years (1901-05), the French called Coppolani the father of the French colony of Mauritania, and the Maures knew him as the "Pacific Conqueror" of the territory.
By enlisting the support of Shaykh Sidiya and Shaykh Saad against the depredations of the warrior clans and in favor of a Pax Gallica, Coppolani was able to exploit the fundamental conflicts in Maure society.
As a result of the conquest of Adrar, the fighting ability of the French was established, and the ascendancy of the French-supported marabouts over the warrior clans within Maure society was assured.

Further investigations are necessary, however, to establish the origin of the dome, now extensively eroded, in view of the fact that proof is not yet conclusive that coesite is invariably due to the fall of an extra-terrestrial body.
This identification lends support to the hypothesis that there was originally an explosion crater in the center of the Richat and that a subsurface ring structure may be present.
