Mauritania Politics & Security
The Mauritania Politics & Security report written by our Sahara expert, with more than 30 years of experience in
the region, and his in-country team offers an insightful look at the much
troubled country's political, social, economic and security situation.
Mauritania's
difficult history has impeded its prosperity but now the country has its hopes
pinned on the exploitation of its offshore oil and gas reserves. The Chinguetti
and
Tiof fields are expected to yield millions of barrels of oil, making Mauritania
a potentially worthwhile prospect.
The steadily growing international interest in Mauritania means foreign
companies need to be up to date with the country's latest developments. In view
of the
recent outbreaks of civil unrest in neighbouring Mali, Mauritania Politics & Security reports pay particular attention to Mauritania's fragile security situation as
thousands of Malians flee across the border. These developments may have
serious
consequences for foreign nationals operating in the country therefore it is
crucial for decision makers to keep track of them as they happen in order to
make
well-informed business decisions and avoid potential commercial difficulties.
Another point to keep in mind is the threat of Al-Qa'ida militants (AQIM) who
have recently become increasingly active in the region. The insecurity along
with
the current humanitarian crisis makes Mauritania a potential risk, as foreign
investment is continually tested.
Drawing on years of experience, Menas Associates believes that it is imperative to look beyond conventional news coverage in
order to fully understand the intricate issues and developments taking place in
Mauritania at this particularly crucial time of change. Consequently, our team
of
experts concentrate on the coverage of all the key issues that are likely to
affect international oil companies and other foreign investors working in the
country.
Mauritania Politics & Security is critical reading for all companies and organisations with an interest in a
country that is in the process of immense change. For more information about Mauritania Politics & Security , please contact us here.
