Chemama is the name of the region along Northern bank of the Senegal River, in Mauritania, a fertile band of land extending sixteen to thirty-two kilometers north of the river and containing alluvial soil. It is the only agricultural region in the country. The Chemama region has a rainy season that stretches from May to September. The region's average annual precipitation ranges from 300 to 600 mm (12 to 24 inches) per year.. The population in this region is a somewhat unstable mixture of ethnic Maures from the Mauritanian heartland and the Black African peoples found further to the south. The cities of Kaedi and Rosso are among the largest settlements. During portions of the colonial era, raids by Maures on the towns of the region were commonplace and the region became the center of ethnic conflict once again during the late 1980s, with significant displacement of the black population into neighboring Senegal in 1989. ==References== (Library of Congress on Chemama ) ( Mauritanian History- French Colonial era ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chemama」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
