What is Mauritania Independence Day?

Mauritania's Independence Day on November 28 marks 1960, when the country became independent from France. Moktar Ould Daddah, who had led the territory toward self-government, became the first president of the new Islamic Republic of Mauritania. The day is a national holiday, marked with a military parade and official ceremonies in Nouakchott, flags across the country and cultural events.
