Mauritania, officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania , is a sovereign country in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara to the north and northwest, Algeria to the northeast, Mali to the east and southeast, and Senegal to the southwest. By land area, Mauritania is the 11th-largest country in Africa and the 28th-largest in the world, and 90% of its territory is situated in the Sahara. Most of its population of approximately 4.3 million lives in the temperate south of the country, with roughly one-third concentrated in the capital and largest city, Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast. Mauritania is one of the least densely populated countries in the world. It is a desert country which means it is constantly hot, dry and dusty.
2. Forced Feeding Culture.
The Islamic Republic of Mauritania is a “deeply patriarchal society” in which women and girls are taught that they are inferior to men and must please men in order to have a fulfilling life. One manifestation of this culture is the standard of beauty for women, which emphasizes obesity as a sign of wealth, status and desirability. The preference originated centuries ago among the Moors, nomadic Muslims of Arabic and Berber stock who make up two-thirds of Mauritania's 3.1 million people. To the ancient Moors, a fat wife (much like fat livestock) was a symbol of a man's wealth, proof that he had enough riches to feed her generously while others perished in the drought-prone terrain.
3. Despite its prevailing Arab identity, Mauritanian society is multiethnic and a majority Black country. The Bidhan, or so-called "white moors", make up 30% of the population, while the Haratin, or so-called "black moors", comprise 40%. Both groups reflect a fusion of Arab-Berber ethnicity, language, and culture. The remaining 30% of the population comprises various sub-Saharan ethnic groups. Thus it is 70% west African and 30% Berber.
4. Mauritania takes its name from the ancient Berber kingdom that flourished beginning in the third century BC and later became the Roman province of Mauretania, which flourished into the seventh century AD. The name Mauritania comes from the ancient kingdom of Mauretania, itself derived from the Mauri, meaning "Moors".
5. The Arab Component of the country is from Yemen. Many of the Berber tribes have claimed to have Yemeni origins. A 2000 DNA study of the Yemeni people did suggest some ancient connection might exist between the peoples.
6. Arabic is the official and national language of Mauritania. The local spoken variety, known as Hassaniya, contains many Berber words and significantly differs from the Modern Standard Arabic that is used for official communication.
7. The obesity rate among Mauritanian women is high, perhaps in part due to the traditional standards of beauty in some regions by which obese women are considered beautiful while thin women are considered sickly.
8. Slavery persists in Mauritania, despite it being outlawed. It is the result of a historical caste system, resulting in descent-based slavery. Mauritania officially abolished slavery in 1981, but the practice was not criminalized until 2007. In 2012, it was estimated that 10% to 20% of the population of Mauritania (between 340,000 and 680,000 people) live in slavery.
9. Despite being rich in natural resources, Mauritania has a low GDP.A majority of the population still depends on agriculture and livestock for a livelihood, even though most of the nomads and many subsistence farmers were forced into the cities by recurrent droughts in the 1970s and 1980s. Mauritania has extensive deposits of iron ore, which account for almost 50% of total exports.
10. Mauritania may be a dry country of endless desert terrain but its defienily worth visiting. It’s got some cool places to see. Chinguetti is one of the most popular places in the country. Known for its historic desert city architecture, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mauritania is home to the Richat Structure, sometimes referred to as "Eye of the Sahara" or the "Eye of Africa". The largest ship graveyard in the world is located in Mauritania. Near the city of Nouadhibou, hundreds of wrecks have been grounded in shallow water where they are scavenged or left to decay. Mauritania has one of the longest trains in the world. The "Iron Ore Train" or "Desert Train" is often 2.3 km long.

Are you presently living in Mauritania, or in France?
Is that true what is said?
@@user-gp9pj6cj1c Am living in Mauritanie now and sometimes in Sénégal..
@@aishabaidydiop Aisha I am sure that you have good cultural experience of people in Mauritania, Is it true that women are forced to eat and become fat as a sign of wealth? Moreover, is that true that women are treated as slaves?
Are erroneous allegations they don't treat their women as slaves. @@khalidjuma5530

Yes indeed. And she's real, not AI. 😊

3:44 Correction, "sub-saharan" is not a race, categories of Africans is "Bantu, Cushite, Nilotes, Amazighs, Arabs and west African groups which I'm not sure about but "sub-saharan Africa" does not exist its neither a place nor a race.
I agree I'm part Mauritanian 🇲🇷
That a racist Western European term that was invented to mock black Africans or people who live below the Sahara desert in correlation with describing us as sub-human
True, sub Sahara Africa is a geographical designation not a racial description or racial classification.
Thank you for saying that.
@@Qhawe_Jameson. No its not, Scandinavia is in North Europe, so is France and Central Europeans "Sub scandinavian Europeans"?? East Africa is the "African great lakes region" so is North Africa "Sub African great lakes region" those countries are in "south" of the Sahara not "sub" find out the meaning of "sub" first of all.
Facts: Mauritania was one of the last countries in the world to abolish slavery and most of those who are African descendants are treated as less than human. If anything the African union should boycott this country.
They would leave everyone poorer, including the black Moors and sub-Saharan people living in Mauritania.
I told the same thing here but my commentary was canceled. Yes you are telling the true. You are Lucky they don't canceled your commentary. Black People in Mauritania are like Slaves. They suffer a lot because of racism. And Nobody help them. Very very sad..
That's simply not true I'm Mauritanian my self and we live a decent life with respect to each other and most of us are mixed any way so racesim is very rare , slavery doesn't exist here any more and I know that's youtubers Will always talked about my country in negative way for the sake of vewis in reality we are simply a normal country with normal people
guys go to fix your country , we are better society we dont throw our parent whatever thier color are in hospital, Mauritania is not a slave country, why? bcs it is Islamic country end period .
@@reinerbraun9995not you pretending that there’s no slavery 🥴🤦🏽♀️
Thanks for this info 🙏
I am from Greece. I visited once Mauritania and I am looking the moment to come again. I really enjoyed your nice video. Thank you.
Subsaharian isn’t an ethnic group. There are white and black Moors, Soninkés, Fulanis (Poular) and Wolofs.
How can you make a whole video about Mauritania without mentioning them when they represent 30% of the population?
I think by definition there were not any white moors ??
There are NO MOORS IN AFRICA
Patriarchy does not teach women are inferior to men smh
In Islam force-feeding once you’re 3/4 full is not right you should stop eating once you’re at least 3/4 full. This is such a wrong practice. I feel like every nation has its own traditions and religions mixed into one which is not right at all in a sense when it comes to things like this.. there is no benefit in being anorexic, but definitely no benefit of being overweight, let alone obese.
Islam is a curse for humanity
Islam prohibits force feeding? Thank you. And Slavery? What does Islam say about slavery?

Thanks for the information 👍🏼 ❤
Thanks for sharing
mauritania was part of the songhai empire, when morrocco invaded them thats when the arabs took over in 1591 those are not the original people the original people is in the west by the sea and south
I think that too . Original people of Mauritania are blacks( soninké,fulani,wolof, bambara) white arabs there descent from morrocans
First of all what u called white arabs are in fact berbers and we lived in the Sahara desert for thousands of years before Islam so we are native to this land as much as any other group and there is no original Mauritanian because this country didn't even exist at that time
Moroccans aren't arabs but amazigh berbers. Shut up

I got Mauritania on my 23 & Me results under Broadly West African at 9.5%. I had no idea what it was and then I happened to run across this video.
Which year was that
@@nurezdawood8363 Last year

Actually today I was on clubhouse in an atheist room where they mentioned a guy from Mauritania had to flee his country for religious persecution and now he’s safe in US. He told us his story and what not. Interesting.
I still listen to Mauritanian music. It's among the best in the world.
Thank You
Subhanallah don’t they fear Allah, this is pure evil, I hate this kind of people who are giving Muslims a bad name, because of their stupid customs from the Stone Age.
Yes..i like the music at last ...hoping to hear some more from google😅
Salaam
Please recommend artists and songs

How can a country pride itself in this day an age as a civilised nation when slavery is part of its social norm?

@@maxwellmakenzi Morocco had it there is nothing to claim, get your history education right, also Mauritania was a moroccan land, but the French successfully separated it, go search about the extension of moroccan kingdom through the years.

White arabs in mauritania descent from morrocans, real mauritanian are blacks( soninke, fulani, bambara,wolof, )
😂😂😂😂 And what about the Imazighen, whole history of Morocco is AMAZIGH
in the north east the biggest warriors zenata imazighen
if original marrocans are not white , how come the white marrocans descended from them? white marrocans are europeans slaves and settlers , germans tribes
@@Ppoim
He lies and believes his lie.
@@Ppoim no shiz moroccans are amazigh genetically so is the other people in the maghreb
Please correct what you said, Mauritania is bordered at the north by the kingdom of Morocco, Western Sahara is the name that was assigned to that geographical region when fragmented Morocco, newly and partially independent, had deposited at the UN a claim to end Spanish occupation in 1957, and the UN calls for the decolonization of Western Sahara in 1965, currently it is under Moroccan sovereignty.

It's been ages I have heard of them
@@abayomiolayinka6597 The Polisario Front declared its existence for the first time in 1973, it was made up of a small number of Moroccan students, some of whom were from the southern provinces still under Spanish occupation. This movement had been approached by the Algerian regime to distract from the demands of Morocco which was demanding its territories annexed by France to Algeria, the Polisario movement had then been financed and armed by Kadafi and trained by Cuba and certain other countries of the Soviet camp at the time.

This is not African this is Arab country Sahara is Arab not afric a
@basicinfo8786 Mauritania is located squarely within the west African continent. It borders Algeria in the northeast, in the east and south east by Mali, and the southwest by Senegal. When was the last time you checked a map of Africa? Do not get confused with it's Arabic influences. Africa is a very uniquely diverse, and fascinating continent.
@@andredoracle6326 it doesn't feel Africa it belong to the Muslim world
@@basicinfo8786 how do you past in geography 😁😁? Mauritania is west Africa weather you like it or not🤭 😁😁😁
I am mauritanian grow up in France and yeah it's Africa. Thousand colors thousand religions or whatever. This is Africa.
speaking of facts "Moors were never yt". You can say they were but it's important to speak the truth and not have you believe that the general public accepts any info without research. Just had to leave this message in good faith.
Facts!!!!!
Moors are the of north and west Africa butmost of them were people from what we called now morocco Algeria and Mauritania so they were mosly berbers
Moors are Arabs and Berbers. Were some blacks amongst them? certainly. But the Moorish civilization has nothing to do with black Africa. It has everything to do with Islam, Arabs, and Berbers of Morocco and western Algeria. And they look exactly like today’s Moroccans and Algerians especially the inhabitants of Fez (Morocco) and Tlemcen (Algeria) among other cities.
Afro-centric people have nothing to show except this was black, that was black, those were black. How about now?
Please stop trying to adopt the great Arab civilisation as yours. We are Arabs. Not black Africans, and not white Europeans,

Yes you are right. Am mauritanian woman and Black. And I met à lot of People from somalia who asked me if am somali. Because I look like The Top model somali Iman.. yes in Mauritania there is a Black tribe called Fulanis who look like somalians and Éthiopians...Half of mauritanian population is african and Black. There is also mixed People who are Black and arabes. Me am Black not arabe and look like somalians People. 😊
In the south of Morocco there are also people from Yemen, Zenata Imazighen live in the northeast
That's be cause alot of us are mixed berbers & sub-saharan africans so u can find alot of us blacks with Caucasian phenotype
That's because foreigners came in and pushed the indigenous out just like Egypt and other African countries
@@reinerbraun9995 No Mauritanian or Moroccan has a Caucasian phenotype
The country is mixed because there are too many Arabs who've moved in over the decades.
Moved in??? Lol they were conquering and enslaving Africans way before the Europeans
North Africa was conquered by the Arabs during the Muslim Conquest
yep... they pushed the Fulani out into Senegal
All of Northern Africa is mostly Arabs because of the Muslim Conquest. Arabs conquered all of Northern Africa at that time.
@@rickyobein012340The Arabs during the Islamic conquest were the Moors. They were Black…

Yes, in Mali.

Mauritania must be reformed at sometimes: Free women, modernization, and re-green forest from desert area.
no they are ok with their lives mind your own.
Nah, except for greening forest and modernization (not that easy in a country with no ressource), they don't need "free women".
@@maths8458 bullshit they have their own ways of life
No way! There's too many modern countries in the world blindly following western cultures. Let there remain some primitive , exotic countries which keep their own culture and civilization.theworld is getting so boring and homogeneous compared to how it was in the past

I love Mauritanians! They are amazing!
We love Mauritania so much from somalia 🇸🇴
I like all African women for some reason they turn me on; tall dark and slender, brown and full figures, light bright and damn near white. I'd love to marry an African bride but afraid they'll leave me when they get to anerica, ijs
Quick correction here :
Mauritanians are not moors, as a matter of fact they got their names from the french who tried to make sense out of this part of Africa. The moors were Northern African from current day Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia (the northern part of these countries).
The population in Mauritania is indeed in between Berber (with clear Maghreb features) and sub-saharan african (black people).
French colonialists invented this country who was split between the old Songhai empire and a "greater" Morocco influence.
Your insight is true but some one read your analysis has to be carefully since your comment is not clear ,for example you have write the phrase" the population there is Berber and black people"the question is what does the phrase "THERE"specify where?

Ignorance 😂
With all the world maps available you are surely ignorant.
Most western people cannot name a country starting with A.
The population of Mauritania is Arabized Berbers and Fulani, and most of the names of Mauritania's cities are Berbers ❤
Foreigners come to Africa and start their stuff it never fails what a shame how can you do this to such beautiful women.
Slavery may exist but not officially legalised. If anything it may be pracrised rarely only by rural folks. And the issue of fattening. How can people forcefully over feed girls in this days. This may by an ancient practice which may still be practised rarely by erural folks. Is not fair to use it to characterise the wole country
Of course they will always mention that for the sake of views
