Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdullah has the face and the features of the downtrodden Mauritanian people. The harsh desert climate of the arid West African nation has chiseled his features. He is representative of his people and they have put their trust in him. His sharp aquiline nose and glistening white teeth set against his rich brown African complexion are striking features of the man elected Mauritanian president. His eyes look into the near future for a better and more prosperous Mauritania.
