UPF angry at the Army’s Takeover Politics Print E-mail
Thursday, 17 July 2008
A senior leader of the Mauritanian Union of Progressive Forces (UPF), the leading leftist party in Mauritania, said the President of the country is rendered weak by the latest political struggle with the army. Speaking today to a Senegalese internet channel, Lo Gourmou said “Mauritania is steadily in the way to be similar to Turkey, where the national army controls politics”. The leftist leader, who is also a university Law professor in France, said that “this degradation happens because the President no longer holds any power”.
The UPF has always been an opposition party but participated in the outgoing cabinet before having been ousted by the growing resentment of the original majority parties.
Lo Gourmou invoked the issue, saying that opposing the President is no longer of use since the real holders of power are the army not the President. “It is they who should be opposed” he said.

This pipskweak and his leftits companions have done so much harm to the country, especially during the tenure of the little dictator Taya and his military junta, that they should be hangged. 
 
I remember when opposition leaders were on trial in Wad Naga by Ould Taya tribunal, Lo Gourmou and some of UFP leasership were attending a Paris conference (In the famous La Sorbonne) on the regime's enormous democratic achievements...What a joke, these leftist were accepting to be in the cabinet of YOAW 1 along with infamous criminals and thieves representing Taya's regime, without a doubt a disgrace to Mauritania and to the human race..
