The main road from Nouadhibou to Rosso passing by the capital Nouackchott is one of the two main travel arteries in the country, so I would hope the Mauri government could manage to keep it relatively safe. It's also a long way from the areas where the tourists and soldiers were attacked.
I will be looking at various web sites--note the UK government hasn't changed its travel advice other than to note the Dakar cancellation: Travel Advice by Country*Foreign & Commonwealth Office--and checking with other travellers before making the decision whether to transit Mauri.
One option might be to travel 'par convoi' with others. Conversely perhaps it might be better to ride solo 'like the wind'...
