President Abdel Aziz was discharged from
hospital in Paris on October 24. Differing reports had him staying in a hotel
near an airport or at the Mauritania Embassy. The same reports said he was
returning to Mauritania on Sunday 28 October.
The latest news, sourced to Mohamed Ould El
Kory, director of ANAIR ( Agence Nation d'Appui et d'Insertion des
Réfugiés) and co-ordinator of the ruling UPR's Political Commission, is that the
president, since leaving the Percy Hospital (Paris) at 16:00 pm on 24 October,
is now convalescing in Nice.
Even though his state of health is reportedly very good, Ould
El Kory said that the president's doctors had recommended two weeks of rest.
According to Ould El Kory, the president was “on top of things”, as
evidenced by his appointment on 27 October of a Mauritanian Ambassador to Iraq
and his assurance that he will preside over the next cabinet meeting (Council of
Ministers) currently scheduled for 8 November.
