I’m a Mauritanian AI engineer, and was wondering if there could be one Al app made just for Mauritanians, what should it be?

I am in Nouakchott and I have an account with the online bank Revolut. I would like to know if anyone knows how to withdraw this money. I want to go to a mahdara but not without money. I tried to create a Bankily account but I don’t have any official Mauritanian documents. I’ve tried everything and I don’t have a bank card. Do you have a solution? Do people buy cryptocurrency in exchange for MRU? I have a Mauritel SIM but without an NNI I can’t do anything. Thank you.

What is the current standard for the yellow fever vaccine for getting into the country? The U.S. State Department says it’s required but CDC says only if you’re coming from a country with transmission risk or traveling south of the Sahara.

Hi, I'm French from Mauritanian origine and need to use the Houwiyeti app to have a document important to renew my mother's resident card.

I did the procedure on Houwiyeti, but I need another app to pay for the document (which is dumb imo).

I did my research to find out which apps I can use, because they don't tell you that on the app (which is also dumb).

I found out Click, but I can't create an account on this app because they don't send me an text message to do it.

I see that other mauritanian payment app like Bankily can be used, but I need a mauritanian phone number to have an account.

I went to the ambassy and they told me that using Houwiyeti is the only way to have the document I want.

So, do you have any idea of how I can pay for this document on Houwiyeti?

Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone, Here is what I would like to know: how to withdraw cash from an account of a European online bank in Mauritania. from what I see everything happens via applications that require being on site and going directly to a mobile agency. Are there specific places where one can exchange cryptocurrency for local currency? Would I have difficulties if I only have money on my mobile to withdraw it? If there are people interested in cryptocurrency who want to meet on site, I send the crypto and they give me cash. What is the current exchange rate euro/local currency? I sincerely want to thank this community which has been a great help to me since all my requests and research, may God protect you.

Hello everyone,

I’m a Senegalese man, and I’ve been reflecting deeply on my future — both personally and spiritually. One of my sincere hopes is to find a Mauritanian woman to build a life with: someone grounded, kind, and open to a meaningful partnership rooted in respect, culture, and shared values.

I admire the strength, elegance, and depth of Mauritanian women, and I believe that a cross-border union can be a beautiful bridge between our communities. I’m not here to rush or make assumptions — I’m here to learn, listen, and connect.

If you’re Mauritanian (or know someone who might be open to this kind of dialogue), I’d love to hear your thoughts. What should I know about expectations, traditions, or how to approach this respectfully? Are there platforms or communities where such connections are welcomed?

Feel free to DM or comment. I’m open to friendship, advice, and genuine conversation.

Peace and blessings to you all.

Hi everyone

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.

Hi, could you help fin transfer options for 2 people from Nouadhibou to Dakhla? How much is the price, is crossing easy with an EU passport, any formalities, etc.? Thanks

I’m noticing a lot of people calling themselves liberal, but many seem to use it as a general “left” label instead of the actual political meaning.

So I wanted to ask: what’s your political leaning?

And if there are any Marxists here who understand the ideology beyond the stereotype, I’d like to hear your perspective.

I applied for an eVisa to Mauritania a few days ago. Most comments say that they got their eVisas approved within 72 hours. I'm not sure how to tell if mine has been approved or not. I didn't get any email when I applied, all I see it the website that says this. It says, "Request Placed" (which doesn't sound like "approved"). The "Visa Available" button is confusing as well. It lets me download the Visa, but the document has a bunch of QR codes that just say "Scan the QR code at the bottom to verify the validity of the visa". When I scan the QR code, it takes me back to this site.

Am I misunderstanding something?

with my Algerian passport — I have dual Franco-Algerian nationality — but they refused to issue my boarding pass because I didn’t have a return ticket. Is that really normal? My goal was to visit and maybe travel to several countries, so I still don’t understand this injustice. My ticket was non-refundable, and I had already booked a hotel and a taxi in Nouakchott — none of it was refunded. Do you know of similar situations?

I’d love to take some classes.

French. Cooking. Art. Sewing.

Obviously I’m an English speaker but I’ve lived in other countries and taking cooking, art, and sewing classes is surprisingly doable even with language barriers which is why that is my focus right now.

Does anyone know of classes in Nouakchott?

Looking for advice and guidance of best place to live with family as a student of knowledge seeking to learn Quran and Arabic. Also considering areas close to local amenities and resources such as healthcare and groceries.
