Sselamou 3aleikoum brother Mammadou Sakho,
First, how are you and our fellow citizens in Canada?
I am happy to have read your response. I like your way of reasoning. You are
definitely right when you said that my assertion was just an assumption in that
there is no rigorous or, per say, reliable polling in Mauritania. Nonetheless,
it was a generalization just like yours when talked about the average
Mauritanian and so forth. One thing invited me to think that you are analyzing
a Mauritanian phenomenon or trend through a Western set of mind. Perhaps, you
have long lived in the West or outside the country. I drew this conclusion
from your statement "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". When were Mauritanians ever concerned
about their material life more than their moral life? I would say that that
never happened. It is normal since such base is fundamental when
differentiating between the West (Materialism) and the East (spiritualism).
Best wishes,
Cheikh Ahmed

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.
