Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Saudi Mosque (Arabic: جامع المدينة المنورة: French: La Mosquée Saoudienne), also known as the Nouakchott Grand Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque in Nouakchott, Mauritania. It is located southwest of the Presidential Palace and immediately west of the Chamber of Commerce.
Overview
The mosque was built with the assistance of the Government of Saudi Arabia.
For several decades, Bouddah Ould Bousseyri had been imam of the Saudi Mosque, he was a close associate of the Mauritanian regime and a supporter of Sunni Islam and a very influential figure in the apolitical Islamist camp. The current imam, Ahmedou Ould Lemrabet, is a thinker of politicized salafism and a supporter of state authority.
