| Mauritania
(Arabic: موريتانيا Mūrītānyā; Berber languages: Muritanya or Agawej; Wolof:
Gànnaar; Soninke: Murutaane; Pulaar: Moritani; French: Mauritanie),
officially the Islamic Republic of Mauritania (Arabic: الجمهورية الإسلامية
الموريتانية; French: République islamique de Mauritanie), is a country in
the Northwestern Africa. It is the eleventh largest country in Africa and is
bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Western Sahara in the north,
Algeria in the northeast, Mali in the east and southeast, and Senegal in the
southwest. It has an area of 1,025,520 sq km. The country derives its name
from the ancient Berber kingdom of Mauretania, which existed from the 3rd
century BC to the 7th century in the far north of modern-day Morocco and
Algeria. Approximately 90% of Mauritania's land is within the Sahara;
consequently, the population is concentrated in the south, where
precipitation is slightly higher. The capital
and largest city is Nouakchott, located on the
Atlantic coast, which is home to around one-third of the country's 4.3
million people. The government was overthrown on 06 August 2008, in a
military coup d'état led by General Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. On 16 April
2009, Aziz resigned from the military to run for president in the 19 July
elections, which he won. About 20% of Mauritanians live on less than US$1.25
per day. Mauritania suffers from several human rights issues, including
slavery, as at least 4% of the population (155,600 people) are enslaved.
Mauritania was the last country to legally abolish slavery; it only became
punishable as a criminal act in 2007. Motto:
شرف إخاء عدل [Honor, Fraternity, Justice].
Territorial Dispute:
Mauritanian claims to Western Sahara remain dormant. |

Mauritania
Coinage |
| Currency:
The ouguiya (sign: UM; Arabic: أوقية; currency code: MRU), also spelled "ougiya",
is the currency of Mauritania. Each ouguiya constitutes five khoums
(singular and plural in English, Arabic: خمس, meaning "one fifth"). As such
it is one of two circulating currencies, along with the Malagasy Ariary,
whose division units are not based on a power of ten. The ouguiya was
introduced in 1973, replacing the CFA franc at a rate of 1 ouguiya = 5
francs. The name "Ouguiya" (أوقية) is the Hassaniya Arabic pronunciation of
"Awqiyyah" (أُوقِية), meaning "ounce".
According to Ordinance 135 of 18 June 1973 and preserving conversion on 29
June 1973, 1 CFA Franc [XOF] = 1/5 Ouguiya [MRO]. Therefore in the
same year ⅕ (1 khoums), 1, 5, 10 and
20 ouguiya coins were introduced. This was the only year that the khoums was
minted, as the ouguiya was worth five CFA Francs a khoums was the equivalent
of the franc (which had no subdivision). The most recent issues were in 2003
(1 ouguiya) and 2004 (other denominations). Coins are minted at the Kremnica
mint in Slovakia. The coinage slightly changed in 2009, with a reduced 1
ouguiya in plated composition and a bi-metallic 20 ouguiya issued. A
bi-metallic 50 ouguiya was issued December 2010.
On 05 December 2017, the Central Bank of Mauritania announced a
redenomination of its currency at a rate of 1:10. As part of the
redenomination, a new series of coins will be issued in denominations of 1
khoums (⅕ Ouguiya), 1, 5, 10 and 20 ouguiya, with the latter being struck as
a tri-metallic coin. As a consequence of this change, the ISO Currency Codes
for the ouguiya were amended to MRU / 929 and the existing codes of MRO /
478 were retired as per ISO 4217 Amendment Number 165 dated 14 December
2017.
Sahrawi Arab Democratic
Republic is also currently using Mauritania currency. |

| From this 1st of January 2018, ten
ouguiyas become an ouguiya. This measure, announced on the national holiday
on November 28 by President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, will, is meant to help
the ouguiya to resume its place in financial transactions, to protect the
purchasing power of the citizen and reduce the amount of money in
circulation. |
| Note: On
05 December
05 2017, the Central
Bank of Mauritania announced a redenomination of its currency at a rate of
1:10. As part of the redenomination, a new series of coins will be issued in
denominations of 1 khoums (⅕ Ouguiya), 1, 5, 10 and 20 ouguiya, with the
latter being struck as a tri-metallic coin and a new series of banknotes in
denominations of 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1,000 ouguiya. The new ouguiya
banknotes issued for the redenomination will be printed entirely on polymer.
As a consequence of this change, the ISO Currency Codes for the ouguiya will
be amended to MRU / 929 and the existing codes of MRO / 478 will be retired
as per ISO 4217 Amendment Number 165 dated 14 December 2017. 10 Old Ouguiya
= 1 New Ouguiya. |

ARGUIN |
Arguin
(Portuguese: Arguim) is an island off the western coast of Mauritania in the
Bay of Arguin. It is approximately 6x2 km in size, with extensive and
dangerous reefs around it. The island is now part of the Banc d'Arguin
National Park.
The island changed hands frequently during the colonial era. The first
European to visit the island was the Portuguese explorer Nuno Tristão, in
1443. In 1445, Prince Henry the Navigator set up a trading post on the
island, which acquired gum arabic and slaves for Portugal. By 1455, 800
slaves were shipped from Arguin to Portugal every year. In 1633, during its
war against Spain (which then controlled Portugal), the Netherlands seized
control of Arguin. It remained under Dutch rule until 1678, with a brief
interruption by English rule in 1665. France took over the island in
September 1678, but it was then abandoned until 1685. Arguin's aridity and
its lack of a good anchorage made long-term European settlement difficult.
In 1685 Captain Reers of the frigate Rother Löwe occupied the old Portuguese
fort on the island. He successfully concluded a treaty with the native king
in which Brandenburg was accepted as a protecting power. The treaty was
ratified in 1687 and was renewed in 1698. Arguin remained a colony of
Brandenburg until 1721 when the French successfully assaulted the fort and
then took control of the island. The Dutch took the fort and island from the
French the following year only to lose it again in 1724 to the French. This
period of French rule lasted four years; in 1728, it reverted to the control
of indigenous peoples. The island was included in the territory of the
French colony of Mauritania, and it remained under Mauritanian rule when
that country became independent in 1960. In July 1816, the French frigate
Méduse, bound for Senegal, was wrecked off Arguin and 350 lives were lost. |

between 02 July and 16 September 1984 in the Soviet Union and eight
other socialist states which boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los
Angeles, USA. Although Friendship Games officials denied that the Games
were to be a counter-Olympic event to avoid conflicts with the
International Olympic Committee, the competition was often dubbed the
Eastern Bloc's "alternative Olympics". Some fifty states took part in
the competition. While the boycotting countries were represented by
their strongest athletes, other states sent their reserve teams,
consisting of athletes who failed to qualify for Los Angeles. |
