Wamoor

Wamoor ni kabila lenye asili ya Kiarabu na Berber lililojitokeza katika eneo la Sahara Magharibi na kusini mwa Mauritania kuanzia karne ya 11, wakati wa upanuzi wa Uislamu na biashara ya kuvuka jangwa. ^[1]Walijulikana kwa mfumo wa kifalme na mtandao wa koo ulioimarishwa na dini ya Kiislamu.^[2]

Utamaduni

Wamoor wanathamini sana Uislamu wa Malikite, wakizingatia elimu ya Qur’ani, mashairi ya Kiarabu na muziki wa jadi wa tidinit.^[3] Lugha kuu ni Hassaniya, lahaja ya Kiarabu iliyo na athari za Kiafrika.

Uchumi

Kihistoria waliendesha biashara ya chumvi, dhahabu na watumwa kupitia karavan za jangwa, na sasa wanashiriki katika siasa na biashara za kisasa za Mauritania.^[4]
