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. Mamadou Sakho Canada

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. > Cheikh Ahmed > ngaido Ibrahima <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a écrit : > Chers Mauritaniens epris de paix et Justice > > Je suis vraiment dans une situation delicate et je voudrais que quelqu'un puisse m'eclairer un phenomene que je n'arrive pas a saisir. > > Pourquoi la majorite des candidats a la "presidentielle" opte pour 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. > > J'ai envie de COMPRENDRE.
