 Mauritania - French Colony - Pacification
His task was made difficult by opposition from the administration in Senegal, which saw no value in the wastelands north of the Senegal River, and by the Saint Louis commercial companies, to whom pacification meant the end of the lucrative arms trade.

As Faidherbe had suggested fifty years earlier, the key to the pacification of Mauritania lay in the Adrar.

Mauritania is the worst hit; the country's rainfall records which date back to 1954, reveal that this is the first time on record the country received no rain in July.
Cattle are dying by the hundreds and rotting in the fields, said World Vision Mauritania National Director Charles Ossey, who toured Area Development Programs in the Tagant and Assaba regions last week.
