Mauritania

On 1-2 July 2018, the 31st ordinary summit of the African Union (AU) was held in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott under the theme of “Winning the Fight against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation. [[i]]”

Toronto-based Kinross Gold recently suspended work at its Tasiast mine to protest an order from Mauritania's government that unpermitted 'expatriates' stop working on the massive project.

The government of Mauritania should fully implement a recently adopted anti-slavery law to demonstrate it is serious about ending slavery, says Minority Rights Group International (MRG) in a new report.

Mauritania’s history is made up of the reshuffling, reassembling and mixing of disparate societies that were initially very separate from one another. Mauritania cannot be governed by someone who is ignorant of this history or apathetic towards it.
