NEW from @MauritanianFor “'Land Slavery'” + Stolen Land - Another Tool for Oppression of Black Mauritanians." For decades, Mauritanian gov't has taken land, livestock, + water access from families. No consultation, no compensation. bit.ly/LandSlavery 
Property rights are HUMAN rights. Mauritania is rich in natural resources, but gov't chooses to take from the ppl + give to global corporations, fattening their own pockets, while whole villages disappear.
Land-grabbing is an intrinsic part of oppression of Black Mauritanians by Beydane power structure. It is racially motivated. It forces migration. It's a calculated part of the plan to disappear Black people from the nation + send them to Senegal, Spain, anywhere but here.
In N’Diago, fishing + agriculture = life for Black Mauritanians. Yet gov't is giving land + sea access to corrupt international corporations, + to Haratines, performing politics of divide + conquer. carnegieendowment.org/2020/08/06/mau… @IntissarFakir @CarnegieEndow
