Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz

Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz ( "Muḥammad Wald ‘Abd al-‘Azīz"; born 20 December 1956) was the President of Mauritania from 2009 to 2019.
Ould Abdel Aziz was a member of the military junta which ousted President Ould Taya in 2005. Following the 2008 coup, Abdel Aziz became President of the High Council of State as part of what was described as a political transition leading to a new election. He resigned from that post in April 2009 in order to stand as a candidate in the July 2009 presidential election, which he won. He was sworn in on 5 August 2009.
Abdel Aziz also served as the Chairman of the African Union from 2014 to 2015.
On July 9, 2020, Mohamed Abdel Aziz was to respond to the convening of a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry tasked with writing a "report". In the aftermath, the Mauritanian justice started to boil in a race against the clock for the construction of the High court of justice, only authorized to judge the president of the republic in the event of high treason.
