#1 You act like this is news? That's like saying the Dems want to raise taxes, or Jesse Jackson accused some white guy of racism.

#2 DLR- It really isn't 'new' per se, as there have been stirrings in the country for the last year and many people have been talking about when it would happen. Where I have been living has been full of talk about what the new government would be like before there was even a coup.

But the fact that is unsurprising does not make it any less grave. Close attention needs to be paid to this situation as Mauritania has a long record of human rights violations. The most recent news from www.seneweb.com is that the UN and Senegal are going to continue to repatriate the refugees from the last time that Mauritania decided that black Africans were not allowed to live in their own country and forcibly removed or killed much of the southern population of the country. There is still slavery in the desert of black Africans by Arab Africans.

Mauritania is an unstable, racist, Islamic state. It may not be news to us, but it is highly dangerous all the same.
