What happened in Tunisia and Egypt, is it possible in Mauritania? ". This question is often these days in Nouakchott and nagging elites, the street and Mauritanian political leaders since the flight of Ben Ali and the protests against the regime of Hosni Mubarak. For
Boubakar Moussa Ba, senior vice president of the Union of Forces for Progress (UFP, opposition): "As citizens of Tunisian and Egyptian, a Mauritanian set himself on fire. His action follows from the distress and the despair of a citizen facing injustice and clan management of national affairs by the government, especially by the Head of State Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz. This act takes place in a particular context where Tunisia and Egypt, two brotherly countries where citizens suffer from the mafia and clan management of Ben Ali and Hosni Mubarak. Evidently, such acts and other more serious could spread or even worsen if the government continues to Mauritanian apply the same policy that Ben Ali and Mubarak. " Same logic of reasoning in Ahmed Ould Daddah, president of the Rally of Democratic Forces (RFD) and Leader of the Opposition Democratic Mauritania, during a meeting held last week at El Mina (Nouakchott): "A replica of Tunisian scenario is possible in Mauritania, where the personal power of Ould Abdel Aziz pushes thousands of unemployed graduates to twist of hunger in shantytowns with no prospect. We have warned several times without success. Ould Abdel Aziz has an interest in meditation and learn from the revolutions of the Arab street. " Messaoud Ould Boulkheïir, president of the National Assembly in Mauritania and Chief People's Progressive Alliance (APP Opposition) believes that the country is not immune to the "popular uprisings or threats of unexpected radical changes." This leader has Haratine, in a speech at the opening of a special session of Parliament, Thursday, January 27, 2011, called for "dialogue between the majority and the opposition to cope with difficult market conditions marked by unemployment and dramatic rise in prices. " Mohamed Ould El Kory, communications director at ANAIR and responsible to the Political Committee of the Union for the Republic (UPR, the ruling party in Mauritania): "At most, we have never claimed that Mauritania is immune to the thunder of history, but our people's revolution, it was made in July 2009 by electing to the highest office President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz who has joined the Mauritanians and which presented the history of our country on the move all the cons still. But since the defeat of all its candidates in the presidential election in Mauritania in July 2009, (President of the National Assembly, Messaoud Ould Boulkheir, the historical opponent Ahmed Ould Daddah, the Islamist Jemil Mansour, former Chief of State Col. Ely Ould Mohamed Vall ...), opposition has the annoying habit of giving insult, where it lacks arguments. Obviously, these opponents know that Mauritania is not an exact copy of Tunisia or Egypt. There are no political prisoners in Mauritania today. Speaker Aziz has set up a true democratic rule of law, modern, supportive and conducive to progress and equity. That's what leader, imbued with popular legitimacy, which has taken the historic and courageous resolve humanitarian issues arising from two decades of injustice. The organized return of more than 21,000 black Mauritanians deported and settling debts humanitarian. It is not forgotten. By its presence in the Great Prayer Kaédi President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz has invited all Mauritanians to seal national reconciliation and to transcend, in a fit of religious faith and patriotic solidarity, the vicissitudes, the rancor, the sadness, resentment and pain born of two decades of injustice. In its final settlement of liabilities and humanitarian achievement of a national strategy to strengthen all the factors of social cohesion between communities of returnees and host President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz today offers the opportunity for Mauritania to set itself up as an example, to be proud of its diversity and to expand its influence internationally. On poor people in neighborhoods, Speaker Aziz has always been the bearer of their hopes. Tens of thousands of land were distributed to the disenfranchised neighborhoods of Nouakchott and Nouadhibou who were languishing in inhuman situations arising from injustices and sufferings of several decades. These last two years, President of the Republic, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz has equipped more hospitals, more than holes built, more roads in urban areas, more classrooms that pension Mokhtar Ould Daddah, Saleck Ould Ould Haidalla, Maaouiya Ould Taya, Ely Ould Mohamed Vall and Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi meeting . Speaker Aziz launched a major campaign against mismanagement and its authors to comply with public money and value of natural resources of the country. The President himself has moved in the Triangle of poverty in Aftout where villages were abandoned by Haratine entire national community. He was to inaugurate several basic social programs. Several roads are being perform in the state capital of Mauritania, in this area Aftout East. Without lobbying tribal chiefs or regional advocacy groups, the project of President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, at a cost of 84 million U.S. dollars, will open up all the villages of Haratine Vrei Imijij, Tourey 1, Tourey 2, Barkéoel, Esswata El Vet'h, Benar, Tadioukel, Male, El Jedida, Bofal, Boulehrath 1, Boulehrath 2, Koumben, R'dheydii, Bathet Tmedek El Mebrouk. Certainly, much remains to be done. Certainly, inequality, injustice, poverty continues to weaken our society. But we have in ourselves, in this Mauritania news, all the assets of a start, beginning with a wonderful youth, hungry for justice, eager to work when she is ready to initiate and create. Our first duty is to give him every chance by making more effective our educational system. And in this light, we saw a first in Mauritania: President of the Republic who went to the University and freewheeling discussion with students about their problems in a large lecture hall. Just after the President Aziz laid the foundation stone of the university campus in Nouakchott, and finally determines the problem transportation of pupils and students by creating a national transportation company that begins to solve the problem of urban transport in the capital. Recently, the President instructed the government Aziz to accentuate the efforts to continue in the direction of lower prices of staple foods to alleviate the Mauritanian households. On dialogue, the President has always Aziz announced its commitment to openness and dialogue with all political forces. " And the responsible party in power in Mauritania to conclude: "The President of the Republic, Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, is by his office above the fray. In the UPR, we remain committed to dialogue but we must define its contours and content. And of course the contours of this dialogue are in the configuration of a precondition without which no exchange, no dialogue, but mostly no dialogue is possible. The first assumption is that most government and the opposition participates in collective deliberation. But we must recognize that the leaders of the Mauritanian opposition that you quoted, Boubakar Ba Moussa, Ahmed Ould Daddah, Messaoud Ould Boulkheir have behind their political future and need to generate a renewal of the political class.
