Military expenditure (% of GDP), 1985–2024. Bars, not a line: a line drawn across a year the source does not report would invent an observation a reader could not tell from a measured one.

The World Bank reports 37 of the 40 years between 1985 and 2024 for Mauritania. The missing 3 are drawn as gaps, because a gap is what they are.
