#WesternSahara (#SADR) - #Morocco-occupied & annexed Western #Sahara, which is the longest, contiguous #landmine field in the world!
(No, the #Guerguerat #Checkpoint to #Mauritania doesn't count! #Sahawri citizens are being denied entry and Morocco illegally forces migrants to cross the minefield into the lethal desert!)
They kill men, women, and children. Then they loot the goods."
#WP also spoke to residents of the Mbera refugee camp in #Mauritania’s southeastern desert, where tens of thousands of #Malian refugees arrive each year. People who left Mali after 2023 told #WP that they were forced to flee not because of Islamists but attacks by #Mali's military and its allies, the #Wagner Group fighters. Interlocutors of the publication say that "white masked men" together with the #Malian military searched
“#Greenpeace #Africa expresses its deep concern and outrage over the #gasleak detected at the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (#GTA) field, operated by #BP off the coast of #Senegal and #Mauritania. Although BP has acknowledged the incident, the company’s assertions regarding a “low flow” & “negligible” impact do not hide the significant risks that offshore hydrocarbon extraction presents to marine ecosystems and coastal communities.’ | Greenpeace Africa https://www.greenpeace.org/africa/en/press/57171/gta-project-gas-leak-bp-oil-company-in-the-dock/

big mess is brewing
>>#Russia…transferring military…to #Libya
Russia’s been trying to cut a wide swath across #Africa from #Mauritania to #Eritrea and everything in between
In #Sahel States #Mali, #Niger, & #BurkinaFaso, & most recently #Chad, #Putin is on collision course with #France & #EU
Niger recently suspended military cooperation with #US after moving away from France & EU last year
Almost all of #Africa from #Algeria to #SouthAfrica are also in for Putin
What else do #Mauritius, #Mauritania, #Mozambique, and #Myanmar have in common besides:
their name’s first letter
#ProtonVPN has servers in all of them…?

*Have you ever attended a divorce party before?
I've attended 2, pre-covid & they were way more fun & interesting than past bachelorette parties.*
#UnreportedWorld meets the #women of #Mauritania beating the #stigma of #divorce and throwing lavish #DivorceParties to celebrate. Reporter Ayshah Tull finds out if #DivorceCulture and women taking multiple husbands is as #empowering as it sounds.
#Mauritania - #HapoyMothersDay Saw this on divorce - Yes, women have divorce parties, but many find their husbands abandon/don’t support their children. Women can marry again but often as a second wife (not mentioned here - also the mahr is less) @mauritania

Heritage for whom? A critical view of #UNESCO and #cultural #imperialism
#Human rights, enshrined in international law and championed by organisations like the United Nations #Educational, #Scientific and #Cultural #Organisation (UNESCO), a body responsible for #education #science and #culture are often perceived as universal principles #safeguarding the #dignity and #freedoms of individuals #worldwide. However, a critical examination reveals a complex interplay of power dynamics, #historical biases and #cultural #hegemony embedded within the #conceptualisation and #implementation of these #rights.
This article asserts that Western notions of #heritage heavily influence the current approach and fail to reflect the true essence of heritage for local #communities. Rooted in the #colonial era, this #Western approach emphasises tangible elements like #buildings and #artefacts. Therefore, the role of UNESCO within #ThirdWorld countries possibly preserves another global heritage: the #legacy of #colonialism in the Global South.
