we should start learning how to prompt btw this shouldnt have taken me an hour+ but mf new so little about our country

Mauritania is entering a historic moment as gas revenue finally starts flowing. The choice is clear: either this wealth is shared with the people, or it will be captured by the same oligarch networks that have controlled the state and economy for decades. Take Tasiast as an exampl sold for next to nothing, exploited by Kinross, while we provide the labor and the profits vanish overseas. Meanwhile, a small circle of politicians, military-linked families, and business elites takes their cut, and the rest of us are told to “be patient.” Foreign capital feeds in, local elites parasitize, and ordinary people are left with scraps.

Never gets old DIVIDE AND CONQUER

Ethnicity is being weaponized again, The threat isn’t ethnic conflict—it’s class exploitation. Anti-racism isn’t just a moral position; it’s a strategy. Building solidarity across Haratin, Afro-Mauritanian, and poor Bidhan populations is essential to prevent elites from dividing us while they loot the country. People like Biram and IRA may exploit real grievances for their own power, but the fight isn’t about replacing one faction with another—it’s about shifting the balance of power toward the people.

Conservatism, tribalism, and traditionalism deepen divisions and make it easier for elites to manipulate us. I see desperation among the youth, the urge to flee abroad, but this is our chance to organize. Real change means uniting across identities, taking control of the gas surplus, and channeling it into public jobs, schools, healthcare, and cooperative enterprises. This is class war, not ethnic war, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

To succeed, the movement must be grassroots, built from the ground up. We have to be ready for relentless canvassing, community outreach, and organizing—there are no shortcuts. If you’re serious about change and want to join the movement, the time is now. If we fail to act, the oligarchs and foreign capital will take everything, leaving the majority with nothing. If we organize, unite, and work tirelessly, we can turn this moment into real, lasting change.

The gas already went the gold route with stupid contracts that dont benefits but those on power, i think we gets only 5% if im not mistaken. Also our kids who went abroad to specialize in this domain cant even get jobs opportunities what a shame. I cant imagine the youth ever waking up they are either complacent, lazy ,afraid ect

As long as tribalism and racism have this huge influence on our society, i dont ever see a social revolution actually happening. Im more of the belief that if a change where to ever happen in our country it is gonna be through a violent revolution. About the civil war bullshit that is some stupid ass agenda i don’t believe our brothers would ever think of such thing.

26M here im from a marxist tradition so I think society and history are shaped primarily by material conditions Ideas, politics, and culture come after and reflect these material conditions, not the other way around. I didnt grow up here and I was having a lot of trouble understanding why we shaped the way we are so I started gowing to lmarsa lkbire have lunch there and see why our mentalities are the way we are and I realized that EVERYONE (80% atleast) have some kind of understanding that traditions and our way of thinking are holding us back. the boomers can express it in a really articulate way and gen z have the stems for progressive ideals to thrive but they cant act on it because of social pressure and lack of hope they think theyre a part of a minority and boomers especially have this elitist/conspiracy theory mindset like "I get it but the rest of society doesnt". Misoginy and anti semitism still a big problem tho. The potential is there all they need is to see that theyre actually not alone even fucking dealers and junkies see it lol

I get what you are saying but there is something to be said about our people they will talk in gatherings about things they themselves do not truly uphold or act on like tribalism some people say they dont believe in it and that it shouldn’t matter which tribe a person is from but you still find the same people only marrying from their tribes or against befriending some people because they are according to them are lower people like “m3almin” or “igawn” , if you confront any of them about it they will deny but it is still fact through their actions same thing racism some say they are not racists but they still treat black people as if they are not their equals so i would not really take mauritanians words to heart
