The traffic jams in Nouakchott:

For many years now, Nouakchott’s main way has become totally bottlenecked throughout all the day, due to the development of the city which contains today more than one million inhabitant instead of four hundred thousand inhabitant previousely thought by the end of 2020 this situation triggered an unexpected sharp rise in the number of the cars in the roads.

Even though the current authority have took a string of useful measures (like banning two-way traffic on many roads ) but the traffic remains heavy if not geting worse during the rush hours.

This situation will cost every year a big amount of money to our already weak economy, that’s why I urge the current authority to think about this issue and bring about a quick and lasting solution, like for example building bridges and more traffic lights, so our capital can look beautiful again.

The education in Mauritania:

Today, it’s obvious that if we really want to leave to our children a respected nation which doesn’t survive by begging for a handout, a real push should be given to the education system, firstly the teachers should be well paid and also well monitored in order to give the best of them. Also people should be hired according to their skills and knowledge and student should be rewarded for their efforts by allowing more grants in side the country and abroad.
Needless to say, we will only overcome all our woes if we can have a reliable school.
