Welcome to the land of "Wind and poets" and dang, for a country mostly covered in sand they sure know how to talk to dolphins! As one of the least visited countries of the world #Mauritania remains quite the controversial enigma on a global scale and today we attempt to scratch the surface. The hot, dry sandy surface. ENJOY!

Hi Paul! I hope you make justice to the saharawi people in the Mauritania and Morocco episodes. Western Sahara is legally the last colony in Africa. We've suffered a lot and still have to live in refugee camps, under ocupation or abroad. Families are separated, people barely have their basic needs and human rights fullfilled and youth have a future with very little oportunities. Me myself I live abroad in Spain, but i was born and raised in the refugee camps in Algeria. I want to send you a letter and items from my culture, but I'm waiting to gather with some friends. Hope it will be soon! Free Western Sahara!

I'm from the Phillipines and I went to Mauritania back in May 2012 with my parents because my dad is a seaman and me and mom invited us to join with him in his work inside of a cargo ship (my dad's ship came from Israel so me and mom have to travel to see him and we travel to Mauritania to dock) If I remember, we docked to Nouadhibou and we decided to go to buy supplies. We have a tour guide from that place and he is VERY NICE. I asked him what language did they use and he said Arabic and French. We stopped to a Chinese restaurant there to eat in Nouadhibou where they are also Chinese that are working there. I remember that there is a train that is so long! Our tour guide told us they are importing dynamite? I forgot but I heard it is dynamite. I wish we could travel more in Mauritania but we only have a short time to go back to our ship. I never got a chance to try their actual food from Mauritania (just the Chinese restaurant there) but next time. Love from the Philippines! 🇵🇭🇲🇷

@A They hassanit Beni Ḥassan (Arabic: بني حسان "Children of Ḥassān") is a nomadic group of Arabian origin, one of the four sub-tribes of the Maqil Arab tribes who emigrated in the 10th century to the Maghreb with the Bani Hilal and Banu Sulaym tribes.[1] In Morocco, they first settled, alongside their Maqil relatives, in the area between Tadla and the Moulouya River. The Sous Almohad governor called upon them for help against a rebellion in the Sous, and they resettled in and around that region.[2] They later moved to Mauritania,[3] and from the 16th century onwards, they managed to push back all black Mauritanians southwards to the Senegal Valley river.[4] The Beni Hassan and other warrior Arab tribes dominated the Sanhaja Berber tribes of the area after the Char Bouba war of the 17th century. As a result, Arabian culture and language came to dominate, and the Berber tribes underwent some Arabisation. The Bani Hassan dialect of Arabic became used in the region and is still spoken, in the form of Hassaniya Arabic.

However, almost all people used to sleep hungry, and now the economic situation is slightly better even though poverty is still a major issue. Also, Iraqis didn't quite got freedom; just last month the Gov. cut down the internet for a couple of days because there were big demonstrations against corruption and asking for basic rights like drinking water and power so it's clearly "fake freedom"... I can't give you the full idea in one comment but Iraq now is unstable with no sign of permenent relief.

Is it true in mauritania, when a bride is about get married she had to eat a lot of food in order get fat due to the vision of "well fed" people are healthier *sorry for my english btw Also Fun Fact: I our language "Wilaya" literally means "region" (with H)

Pardon_ noo ur talking about something that u have no knowledge about. first of ll they don't cut finger, yes they force u to be fat and it was horrible, but it was a tradition and people approved of it during the period of time they lived in. After a while people found out that it was bad and very primitive and now most people don't practice it anymore. It was a tradition used by uneducated people like when Chinese used to practice footbinding or some people can say that practicing ballet dancing is bad because kids break their fingers practicing it

It seems like the historical part from Almoravids (12th century) to Portuguese (16th) was just ignored. I mean after the Almoravids, Mauritania was still under the moroccan kingdoms influences, after the alaouites came in and the annexation again (with Ismail's campaign). The wolof states were still around there in the south by the end of the 19th century

Raul Flores mariachi? Ugh, it’s been done so many times. I’m norteño, so I’d much rather send him a conjunto to play some polkas; I begged Barby via email to stray away from the usual stereotypes of Mexico and give people a new perspective. I’m tired of the same old crap de siempre, Mexico is much more than mariachi, Aztecs and Mayas.

@RaulFlores-vy7rz 6 жыл бұрын

@@alvarofavela2918 Sorry man, I don't know what those things are. I'm not norteño, I'm Tapatío. Which brings me to my next point. I understand mariachi might be a "stereotype" for those that didn't grow up with it. But because I am jalisciense aka Tapatío (birth place of mariachi) I have. It's in my blood. I love mariachi, I grew up with mariachi, we always have mariachi at our parties, weddings, baptisms and quinceañeras. So for me, it's not a stereotype, it's my reality. Mariachi is as good as mine as it is yours. I'm not disregarding all the other types of music we have in Mexico but as a Tapatio I am darn proud of my mariachi. No shame of whatever stereotypes rise from it.

@alvarofavela2918 6 жыл бұрын

Raul Flores that’s just it, Mariachi is part of your regional culture. I’m from Sinaloa and didn’t grow up listening to mariachi and even though I am Mexican, I don’t feel any real link to that type of music and this is exactly why I emailed Barby, pretty much begging him to talk about other regions of Mexico, and not focus so much on the usual stuff that most people already know about the country. I hope the Mexico edition is at least 20 minutes long, that way he can be more detailed when it comes to showing the world how culturally diverse Mexico really is.

@RaulFlores-vy7rz 6 жыл бұрын

@@alvarofavela2918 one thing is for sure, Mexico is quite diverse in their music and we all defend it to the court. It's safe to say that we have a heavy passion for it. Reason why I so heavily connect to it, it's because regardless of where I am in the world, people can connect with my culture thanks to mariachi. it's played and recognized all around the world. With Mariachi schools in countries such as Croatia and Japan. But you're right, it's my region of culture. Not to mention the South, where people listen to salsa. I guess the main thing here that we want to get across, is that different people around Mexico listen to different types of music depending on the region. And as long people identify themselves with the region, they will identify with that music, thus creating stereotypes for other groups that are unknown to everyone else. I also hope the Mexican episode is 20 minutes long. It will kill me to see something missed out. I already sent him all the information I can. Especially about our ancient civilizations. I get so bothered when people confuse the Aztec calendar with the Mayan calendar, they are two totally different things.
