“All Mauritanian citizens are White.”
Mauritania’s citizenry is not uniformly White. Multiple independent sources document substantial Haratine and other Black African Mauritanian communities alongside White Moors; even one such citizen disproves the universal claim. Exact ethnic proportions are disputed, but that uncertainty does not support describing all citizens as White.
“All citizens of Mauritania are Black.”
Mauritania’s citizens are not racially or ethnically uniform. Multiple credible sources identify a substantial White Moor/Beydane population of Arab-Berber descent, alongside Haratines and Sub-Saharan African groups. Estimates of each group’s share vary, but none support the assertion that every citizen is Black.
