Former Mauritanian commander Abderahmane Ould Mini has publicly warned against calls for military coups, emphasizing the importance of maintaining constitutional order. In a statement reported by local media, Ould Mini urged citizens and political actors to reject any undemocratic changes of power.
Ould Mini, a former commander of the Mauritanian National Guard, highlighted the risks of instability that coups pose to the country's development and security. He called for dialogue and adherence to legal processes to resolve political disputes.
Mauritania has experienced multiple coups since independence, with the most recent in 2008. The country has seen relative stability under President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, who took office in 2019 after peaceful elections. Ould Mini's warning comes amid regional concerns about democratic backsliding in the Sahel.
