Mauritania withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in 2000 primarily due to its geographical and cultural ties to North Africa, which led to a perception that its interests were not fully aligned with those of West African countries. The decision was also influenced by internal political dynamics and a desire to focus on regional cooperation with Arab and North African nations. Additionally, Mauritania's withdrawal was part of broader discussions about national identity and regional integration.
