Burst of Youth for the Nation (Arabic: حزب الحراك الشبابي من أجل الوطن; French: Parti du sursaut de la jeunesse pour la nation, PSJN or Sursuat) was a minor political party in Mauritania.
The party was founded in 2011 by a group of youth activists inspired by the Arab Spring seeking to involve young Mauritanians into active politics.
A faction of the party led by Varha Mint Ahmed Ely removed leader Lalla Mint Cheriva and elected Mint Ahmed Ely instead on 21 October 2018,[3] a move condemned by the Lalla-led faction.
[5] In 2019 it was rumoured that ex-President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz would join the party to become its leader, although this did not happen.
[6] The party failed to win a seat in the May 2023 parliamentary elections and was legally deregistered on 19 October 2023 together with four other parties after failing to obtain 1% in two consecutive local elections.
