“The Islamic Republic of Mauritania strongly condemns the ongoing coup attempt in the sisterly Republic of Niger.

Mauritanian government, while observing with great concern the evolution of the situation in this brotherly country, renews its absolute rejection of unconstitutional changes of government, which are incompatible with the Constitutive Act of the African Union.

It calls for concerted efforts to preserve the security and stability of the Republic of Niger and its constitutional institutions.
