I spent 6 years in Mauritania 🇲🇷 it’s a awesome place to live in I can’t wait to visit again some of my memories places there I love that country so much
Thank you bro for taking us inside another country of ours. We prefer to discover our African continent through the lenses of our own fellow Africans. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.🙌🩷
@@caleb_9686 bullshit no Arabs sold other Arabs and they wouldn't allow it they have banned slavery numerous occasions why can't they get it right Senegal almost went to war over it they had a military purge of the blacks and various human rights groups in that country protesting the treatment of blacks in that country.
Hey Gano! New subscriber here! I just came across this video, and as someone who’s half Gambian and half Mauritanian, I found it especially meaningful. Thank you so much for sharing! Mauritania is such a beautiful, peaceful country, and the hospitality there is truly remarkable.
There is a lot of racism in Muritania, The first time I met a Mauritanian was in New York City and he was part of the political fighters for freedom for Black people. He mentioned things that was profound to me. He said that there was slaves in present day, modern Mauritania, and these slaves happen to be black Africans I feel that’s a shame. I feel that has to change. I feel that africans have to wake up in general and unite. I just feel like more needs to be done.
I’m a Mauritanian and we used to hear this arguments from people in one sepesific political group to,they use these arguments for political reasons.bro don’t believe in anything without evidence,come to Mauritania and judge by yourself❤
The energy is very positive and natural its beautiful, social media and continuous unnecesary advancement of tech has disturbed the natural balance of humanity!
Watched this doco 2 times. I clearly see the content difference between the normal and Western point of view about Africa (not first time but at this time I confirm my hypothesis) . I watched a story of the same city, Nouakchott shot in 1 or 2 years apart. The white guy showed a very poor town where people are struggling to survive. Here I see a thriving city with considerable modern experience and charm. Guys, we are not that poor. I will never understand why anything connected to Africa is made to look poor and hopeless. Keep it up Mauritania, you are doing so good.
Yes! Excellent point. A Nigerian pharmacist once told me that Westerners video the poor elements ONLY to continue the notion of Africa being incapable, under educated, backwards always to need help ....................when in actuality the cities and most areas are very modern, well-educated and Prosperous. Of course, every culture has its differences but basically Africa in its entirety is NOT impoverished nor living in the past....................
Maybe because 80% of the population is hungry ... Look at the GDP of these regions of the world before you want to put a positive vision in it. This is not a representation! It is the reality. If the Africans provide you with a clean and rich vision of their countries that’s fine! but what is the reality? the hope is there we all agree, their education and culture are a model... but economically it is not the golden coast ... you must remain lucid and do not put glitter everywhere either
I'm Berber and love the people of West Africa. Because I was born and raised in the west I always felt like I was missing something. When I visited Senegal and The Gambia I felt nostalgia for things that never happened. There were Mauritanians there too and all were very kind and treated me like family. I'm sorry that some Berbers treated you bad, I had no idea the term berber was used in Gambia for someone who was cruel.
French colonialists created this perception of berbers and associate with barbarism because they fought against them, but the truth are otherwise, a nice people Mauritania.
you are Afro American you can visit Nigeria and Niger and whatever country that starts with an N and ends with a R but the North Africa and East Africa is for Muslims only
The best Mauritanian video, l have ever watched, love the honest narrative/perspective ot their society, the beautiful scenery and country side, and your simplicity, best wishes from Nigeria!

Thank you RUclips for recommending me this channel! I just subscribed because I do not see many travel bloggers who show such diverse and in-depth videos on the nations of Africa.
I would love to visit Mauritania, maybe not the iron ore part (I'm in my 60's) but the chill vibe good food and rich history fascinates me, I would also want to go to the Richat Structure.
Mauritania has a very ancient vibe you know. It felt like you shot the video in the 80s.. must be very exciting. Keep going bro and I can’t wait to see you reach your 100th country like your friend.
This travel video is just amazing. Thank you for highlighting our coutry and diversity. Everyone who respect others and is not limited by a certain mentality is welcome in Mauritania. God bless you man!
Bro you haven't visited the disadvantaged neighborhoods where most of black populations live, including your gambian brothers, and which show the other side of Mauritania. This video just shows the tourist aspects and more the moorish culture.
@@Frkc956 the truth is majority of the black Africans in Mauritania are oppressed many face oppression from a small minority non-Black people. It’s a damn shame. Meaning many of the Blacks there have become like house slaves; mentally enslaved.
It’s not every day negativity. Sometimes uplifting content is good. You can go watch all the other content showing disadvantaged neighbourhoods. That content is everywhere
Mauritania is one of the least visited countries in Africa. Why? 1.) Outside of Africa it’s questionable that people know it even exist. 2.) If people do know of it, they know it through media stories of modern day slavery 3.) underdevelopment & poor infrastructure 4.) Many western countries label it as an unsafe destination. 5.) language. Unless you speak one of the national languages, Hassaniya, Soninke, Pulaar, Wolof ect or possible French, it may be quite challenging for you to visit. These are possible reasons for why it’s amongst the least visited countries in Africa.
nice video :)) haven’t seen many african youtubers make content like this so i rlly enjoyed this!! i’m from nigeria but you’re the first person i’ve ever heard saying they’re from gambia lol
Wonderful tour! Terjit brought tears to my eyes, it's so beautiful! I'd love to ride that iron ore train once in my life, to see so much of the Sahara. You don't mention the stars at night, but they must have been awesome.
Wat een drukte mooie kleren die kleuren prachtig Mooie gebouwen daar en ik vind het schoon .iedereen is gesluierd wat een verschil van landen Hier weer bomen andere stukken niks kaal woest Dit is mooi dat met die bomen Dit is. De Sahara zeker bedankt voor de vidio 🙏🏾🇾🇪💋❤
This was a fascinating journey in Mauritania. I like to distract myself from the daily grind by watching lives of people in another worlds. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! As a Mauritanian I would like to thank you VERY MUCH because this Video is one of the few comprehensive coverage videos on RUclips about this country. you take many angles and cities and you chose to reflect the culture rich and diverse sides. for the "interpretation" of why divorced women are more desirable I think you missed the point. cause the Mauritanian man would never marry woman for their money, but there is a cultural related concept that said there is something special with woman with " experiences" Thank again Mr. Gano!
Not all of Mauritania was populated by Bafours, part of it had Zenaga Berbers living there way before Islam and the arrival of new arabized Berbers and Arabs. Now the Zenagas are almost completely assimilated in the general population. In any case, nowadays, the "liveable" areas, that is the Sahelian belt, can be understood as a West African region. The Saharan part is mostly uninhabited but was mostly inhabited by a few Berber tribes in the Middle Ages.
This is the state of freedom of religion in Mauretania!!! Mauritania is an Islamic republic. Non-Muslims cannot proselytize or become citizens, and those who convert from Islam to another religion lose their citizenship. However, non-Muslim communities do not face targeted persecution. Though no one has been executed for apostasy, it is punishable by death. In 2018, the parliament passed a law strengthening capital punishment for certain blasphemy offenses and removing the possibility of repentance to avoid a death sentence.
First video i have seen of yours, will subscibe you done a great job of showing the countrys history, culture and touching on subjects, its good to see a video without bias but gives enough for us to do further research on our own. Its not a country that is on my visit list for now but maybe one day.
I spent 6 years in Mauritania 🇲🇷 it’s a awesome place to live in I can’t wait to visit again some of my memories places there I love that country so much
Can you tell US about your experience.,

So is that why they enslave subsuharan Africans lol 🤣 make it make sense?

@ Mauritania is part of west Africa technically and I’ve never been. I’ve been to countries surrounding it though. I’m not sure why you’re upset

I'm Sudanese Eritrean and I love Mauritania , I know a few and their culture is very similar to all the desertic tribes and places in the east too.
Thank you Gano did it. The insights are top-notch. Great great work man. You have challenged our mindset and views about Mauritania. This was needed.
Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed

That country is minority ruled. BLACKS WHO FORM THE MAJORITY ARE MARGINALIZED AND UNTIL RECENTLY, ENSLAVED! It's South Africa before apartheid left.
That's result of Islam

Thanks a ton
Wonderful article Mr Ganno, however i don't know mwhy you described Mauritania as strangest country in Africa.
Amazing work bro
Mauritania is one of the least visited countries in Africa. Why?
1.) Outside of Africa it’s questionable that people know it even exist.
2.) If people do know of it, they know it through media stories of modern day slavery
3.) underdevelopment & poor infrastructure
4.) Many western countries label it as an unsafe destination.
5.) language. Unless you speak one of the national languages, Hassaniya, Soninke, Pulaar, Wolof ect or possible French, it may be quite challenging for you to visit.
These are possible reasons for why it’s amongst the least visited countries in Africa.
Also least known even within Africa....most people forget it even exists
And treatment of women.
Commenting for support. Awesome video!
nice video :)) haven’t seen many african youtubers make content like this so i rlly enjoyed this!! i’m from nigeria but you’re the first person i’ve ever heard saying they’re from gambia lol
This is the first African country i would consider visiting. It looks lovely in a organized chaos- but still beautiful
I loved this. I had tons of questions. Very cool, and the camera work and clarity are as stunning as your observations and love of beauty.
Glad you enjoyed it!
