Adventures of Mauritania:
Nouakchott __ "Nouakchott was constructed for 15,000, back in 1958. Now there
are 600,000 people living here. This extreme growth has nothing to do with
economical growth. It's the recurring droughts in Sahara the last 10-20 years,
that have forced young people, families and small communities into leaving their
traditional ways of living." A good overview of the city. - illustrated - From lexicorient.com -
