Political forum proposes May 30th for Mauritanian vote
A special political forum set up by Mauritania's military rulers to organise presidential elections on Monday proposed May 30 as the date for the vote, subject to the junta's approval.
With the nation facing a worldwide simultaneous economic downturn, political leadership is needed now more than ever. The term of House of Representatives members expires September 10. A lower house election must be held by the autumn.
