Mauritania Placed on the Unsafe and to be Avoided List

-- Governor-General's Press Relase

We join the African Union, South Africa, Nigeria, the European Commission, and the United States in condemning the military coup d'etat in Mauritania. We strongly and firmly oppose any attempts to change governments through unconstitutional means.

We call upon General Mohamed Ould Abdelazi and the other members of his junta to restore the legitimate government under president Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, or in the alternative to make good their promise to hold free, fair, and transparent elections immediately.

Mauritania will placed on the nations that are unsafe and to be avoid list until the situation there stabilizes. British West Floridian Subjects of the Crown currently in Mauritania are advised to remain in their homes through the week-end pending notifications from one of the Crown Consulates.
