Nouakchott: Two colors of Mauritania by Gussi Jons ”(…) its population was only 20,000 in 1969 and 150,000 in 1980. Part of the difficulty in estimating the city’s population is that part of it is literally nomadic, setting up tents in suitable locations, then packing up when the need strikes. Some estimates put the 2008 population at over 2 million; more conservative estimates put that number at 800,000, itself estimated to be close to one-third of the country’s population.” Nouakchott - Demographics - wikipedia /via: nachetz
