Brother Cheikh Ahmed,
If I understand you correctly, I should be more sceptical about 
Mauritania's future. I sincerely hope that you are wrong in assuming 
that the majority of Mauritanian voters would rather see Mauritania 
end its political relations with Israel than put an end to the 
suffering of oits own people. In the absence of a credible public 
opinion survey to validate your point of view, I prefer to believe 
that this is only an ASSUMPTION and hopefully a false one.
When one puts in perspective the relative importance of Mauritania's 
opinion or stance regarding international issues, it is obvious that 
on a scale of 1 to 10, our opinion counts for much less than 1.
The balance of power will not shift because we end or maintain our 
relations with Israel nor will the cause of Palestine become more or 
less important. So the fundemental question of brother Ngaido 
remains. Why are our politicians inclined to care more about the 
relations with Israel? I wish I knew the answer. My belief is that 
the average Mauritanian, the majority of Mauritanians, from 
Nouakchott to Nema and from Nouadhibou to Diaguily do care about 
Palestinians. The majority, however, will, when asked, affirm that 
the Mauritanian future is much more relevant to their day to day 
lives than the relations with Israel.
Both my assertion, brother Cheikh, and your analysis remain 
subjective. Mine, however, depicts a much better image of the 
mauritanian. Mine is a dream and a cry for hope that mauritanians 
would, when asked, care about mauritanians first.

>   As you know politicians are vote maximizers. That is the 
rationale that they adopt most. I am quite sure that if "le jugement 
des criminels, bandits et autres badauds qui ont tues, violes, 
humilies des compatriotes musulmans" is what they think the majority 
of Mauritanian voters want, they would have been making promises 
about it. Therefore, and in contrast they preferred to make promises 
about cutting relation with the state of Israel because they think 
it is one of the most appealing demands of the majority of voters. 
Otherwise, why did they, as opposed to cutting, use "freezing the 
relationship with the state of Isreal" until it is done right 
jointly and in collaboration with the Palestinians and the rest of 
Islamic and Arabic world and even the international community that 
is severely harmed by this conflict? Further, do the presidential 
candidates have detailed plan B that they will be adopting in the 
aftermath of the end of such relationship? What would be their
>  plans to deal its ramifications? I hope they have thought about 
that challenge and I hope that I present at least a part of the 
response to my brother Ibou/Adama.

une rupture avec l'etat d'Israel? Quelle signification donne a cette 
prise de position? En quoi la rupture des relations avec Israel est-
elle plus importante que le jugement des criminels, bandits et 
autres badauds qui ont tues, violes, humilies des compatriotes 
musulmans? Qu'est ce que cette rupture diplomatique peut elle 
apporter en matiere de reequilibrage entre nos composantes 
nationales? Quelles raisons historiques, religieuses, politiques, 
economiques, ethiques poussent ces candidats a opter pour une 
rupture avec Israel. Franchement je ne comprends pas.
