This important day serves as a reminder of the courage, sacrifices, and determination that shaped Mauritania’s historic journey toward freedom and sovereignty. It is also a moment to reflect on the nation’s progress and its strong contributions to the continent’s shared aspirations. Mauritania continues to play a meaningful role in promoting African solidarity, peacekeeping, and regional integration — fully aligned with the ideals of Pan-Africanism and the goals of Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want.
The African Union applauds Mauritania’s unwavering commitment to unity, democracy, and sustainable development. Its active engagement in regional stability and continental initiatives strengthens Africa’s collective pursuit of peace, prosperity, and inclusive growth. The celebration of Mauritania’s Independence Day stands not only as a proud national achievement, but also as a reaffirmation of Africa’s shared determination to build resilient societies and deepen cooperation across borders.
As the continent reflects on Mauritania’s journey, we are reminded of the power of resilience and the importance of working together. Mauritania’s example inspires all African nations to continue striving toward a future defined by hope, progress, and integration.
Happy Independence Day to the Islamic Republic of Mauritania. May the spirit of unity and ambition that guided your independence continue to light the path toward a stronger and more prosperous Africa.
