	Mauritania History \| Lonely Planet World Guide
		For Mauritania, this significant event meant the arrival of the nomads, who were able to cover longer distances with camels as they traded salt - and later gold and slaves - throughout the Western Sahara.
		With independence came the declaration of an Islamic republic, the establishment of a new capital and an increase in industrialisation.
		To thwart international criticism, a new constitution permitting multiple parties was established in Mauritania in 1992 (the process has been termed 'controlled democratisation') and the incumbent, Colonel Maaouya Sidi Ahmed Ould Taya, was re-elected, making Mauritania the first member of the Arab League to have elected a head of state by direct universal suffrage.

		Mauritania was severely affected by the 1972-1984 drought, which caused major population movements and considerably reduced the country's agricultural and stock-breeding potential, leading to a deterioration in the living standards of the rural population.
		The population of Mauritania was estimated to be 2,350,000 in 1996.
		Mauritania is facing the challenge of urban population growth owing to the rapid sedentarization of nomads, which has accelerated the urbanization phenomenon.

	Mauritania - French Administration Through World War II
		Mauritania, a long-time appendage of Senegal, was not considered worth the expense necessary to pacify and develop it until Coppolani succeeded in changing the attitude of the French government.
		The governor general was the head of a centralized administrative bureaucracy consisting of a lieutenant governor for each territory, the commandant of a cercle (a colonial administrative subdivision), and chiefs of subdivisions, cantons, and villages.
		Mauritania's administrative structure conformed generally with that of the rest of the AOF territories.

		Mauritania isn't the sort of country that attracts tourists in their droves: it's mostly desert, entirly poor, politically unpredictable and expensive.
		For those with the true spirit of adventure, Mauritania is one of the least trodden spots in the world.
		Mauritania escaped relatively unscathed - no depopulation due to slavery, no reorientation of the economy to cash crops, no stripping of precious minerals.

	Mauritania - Chasing the Lizard’s Tail
		Mauritania is a land of hyenas and jackals, lions and leopards of old, of holy lizards and accursed locusts.
		Mauritania is also a land that has been raped and pillaged by the droughts of the last two decades, a land trampled under the bloodied boots of poverty and famine.
		After all, Mauritania's present frontiers were decided not by tribal, nor even by national or geographic considerations, but by the interests of colonial France.

		129.

	Nouakchott and the Sahel, Mauritania - Chasing the Lizard’s Tail
		Unfortunately all too memorable was the pitiful sight of an elderly, veiled woman scavenging through the rubbish for anything remotely of use, while her children kicked saggy footballs and bottles around in the dirt.
		The fate of the area that I was cycling through was starkly illustrated by the sight of a complete camel skeleton lying bleached and half-buried in the sand, exactly as the poor beast had fallen.
		Its head was bent back in a contortion of agony, and several of its ribs lay scattered around, presumably having been dragged there by vultures or other carrion-eaters.

		The town is split in two by the market: of the halves, the narrow winding streets of the smaller Ksar area are more interesting.
		To see a ghost town in the making, head 865km (520mi) due east of the capital to the isolated ancient town of Tichit, which lies in the centre of a massive fault of rock stretching almost to the Malian border.
		As a supply town it once had over 5000 people, but you'd be lucky to find 500 now.
