Perhaps we could see a closeup of the blade? If it's diamond-shaped in cross profile, I doubt the blade is African unless trade piece. The hilt, on the other hand...
The blades from the Mauritania area are often to be found with that same shallow diamond cross-section blade, as per this example. They are also to be found with straight blades.
