[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] The Islamist National Rally for Reform and Development (Tawasul)
In statements received by the German Press Agency, the party said that after an emergency meeting of its executive office, it decided to adopt a peaceful program and call for a comprehensive dialogue. It renewed its call for a comprehensive national dialogue that leads to a transformation that lays solid foundations for resolving the country's core problems. Tawasul is the largest opposition party in the Mauritanian parliament. It granted the regime of President Mohammed Ould Cheikh el-Ghazouani, who took power in August 2019, a deadline to normalize the political atmosphere. The party's position comes while growing public discontent over the country’s lack of security, which led to the death of dozens of innocent citizens killed by gangs in Nouakchott. After series of incidents, the president toured a number of the capital's neighborhoods, during which he visited security units. Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike!he yelled...... four opposition parties called on the government to put an end to the chaos and ensure the security and safety of citizens, in light of the unprecedented wave of disorder in the capital. The opposition parties Ettakatol, the Union of Progress Forces, Sawab, and Democratic Forces signed a statement, warning that the current lack of security in the country undermines the prestige of the state and threatens a real catastrophe that may affect the citizens' lives. They stated that this may constitute a serious threat to civil harmony and social peace, especially in poor and remote neighborhoods, without security or safety. The parties expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the authorities’ indifference in the face of the seriousness of the drug scourge, noting that an increasing number of children and youth are turning to drugs and criminality. During the past weeks, several citizens were stabbed to death by organized crime gangs under the influence of drugs.
