Learn More about Bon Ould Al-Dif

Al-Dif, who was once a military police officer, eventually became frustrated with not being allowed to voice his political opinion. Once he left the military, he began to hone his art, drawing cartoons that illustrated the injustices people felt every day on the street. Despite his best efforts, Al-Dif was unable to publish much of his work, and soon moved to France. He would later return to Mauritania and begin to publish his works in the Al-Shaab newspaper.
