Mauritania i/m?r?'te?ni?/ (Arabic: ?????????? Muritanya; Berber:
Muritanya / Agawej; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane; Pulaar:
Moritani; French: Mauritanie), officially the Islamic Republic of
Mauritania, is an Arab Maghreb country in West Africa.
It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean in the west, by Western
Sahara (controlled by Morocco) in the north, by Algeria in the
northeast, by Mali in the east and southeast, and
by Senegal in the southwest.

It is named after the ancient Berber Kingdom of Mauretania,
which later became a province of the Roman Empire,
even though the modern Mauritania covers a territory far to
the south of the old Berber kingdom that had no relation with it.
The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the
Atlantic coast.

The government of Mauritania was overthrown on 6 August 2008,
in a military coup d'état led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.

On 16 April 2009, General Aziz resigned from the military to run
for president in the 19 July elections, which he won.

In Mauritania about 20% of the population live on less than
US$1.25 per day.

Slavery in Mauritania has been called a major human rights
issue as well as female genital mutilation, child labour, and
human trafficking.
