African Proverb: 

Here’s a beautiful Mauritanian proverb:

“He who does not have a friend, has a mirror.”

This proverb speaks to the importance of self-reflection and the value of having someone or something to help us see ourselves more clearly. It suggests that if you lack the guidance or companionship of others, you must turn inward and learn to rely on yourself.

Here are some  facts about Mauritania:

Mauritania is a unique country with a fascinating mix of traditions, landscapes, and history!

1. The Sahara Desert: About 90% of Mauritania is covered by the Sahara Desert, making it one of the most desert-heavy countries in the world. The desert plays a significant role in the country’s culture and lifestyle, especially in nomadic traditions.

2. Rich Cultural Heritage: Mauritania has a rich blend of Arab, Berber, and African cultures, and it is home to several ancient cities. The city of Chinguetti is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its historic libraries and manuscripts that date back centuries.

3. Unique Cuisine: Mauritanian food reflects its desert environment, with dishes like couscous, mechoui (slow-roasted lamb), and rice with fish being staples. The country’s cuisine is influenced by Berber, Arab, and Sub-Saharan traditions.

4. Slavery History: Mauritania was the last country in the world to abolish slavery in 1981. Despite legal abolition, slavery-like practices have continued to persist in some parts of the country, and ongoing efforts are being made to address this issue.
