The government of Ismail Ould Bedde Ould Cheikh Sidiya was the 15th government of the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, in office between 9 August 2019 and 6 August 2020.[1][2] It was a coalition between the Union for the Republic and the Union for Democracy and Progress, whose leader Naha Mint Mouknass was the only member representing the party.

Background

[edit]

Many of the new ministers were considered to be close to the previous president Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz.[4]
