Mauritania at the Crossroads

Democracy and Security in the Sahel
Wednesday, October 31, 2012 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Center for Strategic and International Studies1800 K Street, NWWashington DC, 20006

with 

Jo Ellen Powell 
U.S. Ambassador to Mauritania
 
As the international community wrestles with the profound shifts resulting from the Arab Spring and the political, security, and humanitarian crises in Mali, little attention has been given to the impact of these dynamics on nascent democracies. Mauritania, which experienced a coup d'etat in 2008, continues to grapple with its autocratic history as it faces crucial challenges, including violent extremism and security in the Sahel and a humanitarian crisis. Please join the CSIS Africa Program as we host U.S. Ambassador to Mauritania Jo Ellen Powell for a discussion on ongoing political developments within Mauritania and the implications for the broader region.
