Hope Mauritania (Arabic: أمل موريتانيا, romanized: amal mūrītānyā, French: Espoir Mauritanie) is a coalition of several political movements in Mauritania formed with the intention of running in the 2023 parliamentary, regional and local elections.
[2] The coalition was formally presented and launched in the Old Youth House of Nouakchott, Mauritania, on 22 December 2022, in a ceremony hosted by the Republican Front for Unity and Democracy (FRUD), the only party legally registered of all forming the coalition.
[3][4] On 7 February 2023, the coalition decided its main candidates for the 2023 parliamentary, regional and local elections.
[5] Hope Mauritania opposes the government of Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, stressing that "it is based on discrimination and excessive societal political exclusion", noting that "citizens who have lost hope in the various crisis, have been alienated day after day from their legitimate aspirations for a state of law based on the basic principles of human rights that guarantees equality of opportunity, in the wealth of the country, the access to civil status, the right to acquire education and employment, together with a final rejection of slavery, whether modern or traditional".
[4] In another statement, the coalition said it was "against the marginalization of women, patriarchy, misogyny, the infantilization of youth, mass unemployment, birth inequalities, racism, hunger, the destruction of vital ecosystems, the failure of public health, the arrogance of the elites of ignorance and of the commodity, the reason of arms and the unreason of resignation".
