In this episode of the APSACO podcast, His Excellency Mr. Dan Ahmed Mahmoud, Director of the Mauritanian Institute for Strategic Studies, discusses the country’s security challenges and the foundations of its stability. Positioned at the crossroads of the Maghreb, the Sahel, and the Atlantic, Mauritania pursues a strategy grounded in territorial governance, intellectual approaches to countering extremism, and a diplomacy of non-alignment. A valuable insight into a national trajectory that remains largely underexplored.
