"Quartier Cinquième" - Nouakchott - Mauritania
Africa

"Quartier Cinquième" is the popular name of one of the poorest neighborhoods of the youngest capital city of Africa. The population is in the vast majority formed of immigrants who 70% are being held in slavery. Local government is not interested in this part of city. Buildings are growing deliberately. Nobody does not export trash from here and it accumulates in the streets. Electricity is supplied as "black". There is no sewage system also no water for drinking and washing. After the monsoon rains the streets are flooded and in the water hatch mosquitoes, which transmit diseases and increase still high mortality. The police is not present here, so there's high crime rate. During my staying there one tourist was killed. Therefore this panorama was made very quickly not to arise aggression toward people who are taking a picture as they believe the pictures take their soul...

More About Africa

Welcome to Africa, AKA the motherland! Check out African Internet Radio while you're scoping the panoramas.The earliest fossil of the homo sapiens family (human beings) was found in Ethiopia, dating back more than 200,000 years. Compared to this length of time, even the "ancient Sumerians" from 6000 B.C. are drooling toddlers.Let's mention a few African heroes you may have heard of, for inspiration in the face of the continued economic inequality and violence which plague Africa today: Nelson Mandela, first democratically elected President of South Africa, who fought against apartheid and served 27 years in prison while advocating freedom and peace. Haile Salassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, who resisted Mussolini and the fascist Italian invasion of WWII, and who is worshipped as an incarnation of God by the Rastafari movement. Kwame Nkrumah, first Prime Minister of Ghana, advocate of uniting Africa in Pan-Africanism. Fela Kuti, inventor of Afrobeat music, who declared his home to be an independent state, ran for president of Nigeria, and to whose funeral ONE MILLION PEOPLE came to pay their respects.In June 2001 the African Union was formed, consisting of 53 African States organized, like in the EU, around common economic and political development.Text by Steve Smith.
