Deposed Mauritania President Sidi Mohamed Ould Cheikh Abdallahi Released from House Arrest

Nearly five months after he was deposed by a military coup Mauritania’s former President Sidi Mohamed Ould Cheikh Abdallahi has been released from house arrest and is now a free citizen.

Abdallahi was overthrown on Aug. 6 following an effort to dismiss four senior army officers. One of those officers, General Mohamed Ould Abdelaziz, had helped orchestrate a coup in 2005 that put Abdallahi in power.

Abdelaziz responded to Abdallahi’s attempted dismissal by launching the coup. Abdallahi was then placed under house arrest in Lemden where he has been forced to remain until now. He was released in the capital city of Nouakchott where his rights were restored as a free citizen.

The release of Abdallah and the restoration of democracy has been a condition of several countries that have withheld aid to Mauritania.

A transitional government has been put in place until elections can be held in late 2009.
