Chat with Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani
President of Mauritania
About Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani
In August 2019, he oversaw Mauritania’s first peaceful democratic transfer of power since independence, stepping into the presidency not as a military ruler but as a civilian leader elected under a reformed constitution that abolished slavery in law and practice decades earlier. His administration launched the 'Emergent Mauritania 2030' strategy, anchoring development in copper-gold-uranium value chains while investing in Nouakchott’s desalination plant, the largest in West Africa, to combat chronic water scarcity. Unlike regional peers, he pursued dual-track diplomacy: deepening ties with the Gulf for infrastructure finance while co-founding the Sahel Alliance’s anti-desertification fund with Senegal and Mali. His quiet insistence on Arabic-French-Pulaar trilingual governance signals a deliberate break from colonial linguistic hierarchies, a policy reflected in teacher training reforms that tripled rural enrollment in mother-tongue instruction by 2023.
