Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz
Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz is a former president of Mauritania who served from 2008 to 2019. His tenure was marked by a significant shift towards stability in a country previously plagued by coups and unrest. However, following his presidency, he faced serious legal challenges, including charges of corruption and abuse of power. Recently, he has been in the news due to a prosecutor's request for a twenty-year prison sentence against him for allegedly using his position to enrich himself unlawfully, a charge he has consistently denied.
