Sahara, the Secrets of Mauritania

In the far west of the Sahara lies Mauritania. Ten years ago, this country was a busy crossing for migrants from West Africa to the Canary Islands, but since the Spanish coast guard have taken up patrols, no one has gotten through.
Mauritania is one of those countries that has managed to escape the attention of the world press. A country of sand where the first cities were not built until the 1960s, but urbanisation has brought many desert customs to the city. Notorious is the habit of force-feeding young girls with camel milk and breadcrumbs dipped in olive oil, a banned custom intended to make them more attractive on the marriage market.
It turns out that there is much more happening in Mauritania that they would rather hide.
Directors: David Kleijwegt & Erik van Empel

Great and informative documentary!

[@asugaphotography]

Very informative documentary....

[@gzx926]

I'm shocked by slavery in Mauritania, on the continent itself and I'm wondering what's the importance of the African Union? All of the time they are talking about western slavery effects, but very negative one is happening right here on the continent. I'm very disappointed.

[@imup9otmyname505]

None of it is true. The only truth is that the black community in Mauritania is poor and that is the remains and consequence of slavery. And there is a government program with an annual budget of $200M a year created to help solve this problem. Other than that the whole 1.5 hour documentary is total B.S

[@ahmedbouvarss3889]

This documentary has nothing to do with journalism or professional journalistic work, and its author reminds me of Western orientalists when they distort the image of people around the world in their works. Dear Sir, Mauritania is 100% Islamic and there is no other religious minority in it, which is why it is called the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. There is no slavery. In Mauritania, the matter is no more than the fact that some politicians like to obtain the sympathy and aid of Western countries. You must apologize to the Mauritanian people for this insult and for this farce through which you tried to distort the image of Mauritania and its people.

[@ZoubirKabir]

Easily, head and shoulders above everything, the best comment and analysis of this video. To describe Mauritania as "Islamic police state" is hyperbolic and inflammatory. To focus cheaply on the fetish subjects of gavage, slavery, and terrorism is naive, childish, poor reporting not intelligent professional journalism. Actually it brings shame upon the nation of the author; The Netherlands. I find Dutch people normally far more understanding, compassionate and intelligent. This reporter is a terrorist. Terrorising any potential visitor. An assassin of the truth. The real Mauritania is not in this video.

I think the problem of fattening especially with condensed milk besides other problems associated with obesity will lead to diabetes (type II) because the structural cells of the human body become saturated with sugar and become unable to cope with more sugar and the free flowing sugar in the blood stream is rejected by all body cells and the sugar then has absolutely nowhere to go leading to diabetes requiring costly medicative drugs most notably Metformin which is prohibitively costly. I ask: What husband is worth your health?

So sorry to see how girls are treated 🥲. Fattening e girl from 10 yrs old in order for her to look as 15 and get married is pure slavery and devil to one’s life! It is heartbreaking as the slave master is the mother and family the very people supposed to protect her ! I very much hope the girls of the country rebel and request their rights !

انا من موريتانيا و أعيش هنا في موريتانيا و أدرى بحالها من غيري و أقول لكم أن هذا الفيلم الوثائقي مضلل تماما ليست هنالك عبودية موريتانيا كباقي دول العالم كانت فيها العبودية لكن تم إلغاء العبودية من زمن بعيد لكن البعض يعمل على تشويه صورة البلاد لأغراض معينة و موريتانيا ليست دولة مثالية فيها الطيب و الخبيث و فيها العنصري و فيها الغير عنصري و فيها أيضا من يحاول زرع الفتنة بين مكونات الشعب الموريتاني لأهداف و مصالح شخصية

[@RichardAddison]

Do Western interests to sell Metformin (A diabetes type 2 drug) explain the tradition to fatten young girls or women to immobilize them and keep them for marriage? This is most definitely oppressive and enslaving by lazy protagonists.

You’re damn right, this is the longest most professional lie I have ever watched! And people actually believe this. I almost fell for it myself even though I live among these people and I know for a fact that this is total BS. Just WHY?🫤

[@RichardAddison]

@@imup9otmyname505 What EXACTLY is the lie? If it is fattening young women for marriage I do not believe this is a lie. I heard this first many years ago. It's possible it could be a class issue. Even in China there's a practice to especially fatten young children to show family wealth and abundance (think how millions starved in the 1950s) Is that the lie or this is just not your class?
