Mauritania

                               Mauritania (Arabic: موريتانيا‎ Mūrītāniyā; Wolof: Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane; Pular: Moritani; French: Mauritanie), officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, is a country in Western Africa. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the west, by Senegal on the southwest, by Mali on the east and southeast, by Algeria on the northeast, and by the Morocco-controlled Western Sahara on the northwest. It is named after the Roman  province of Mauretania, even though the modern state covers a territory far to the southwest of the old province. The capital and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the Atlantic coast.
