Madar (Nouakchott) - The National Rally for Reform and Development (Tawassoul) held a public rally on the evening of Sunday, 15 November 2026, in the square of School No. 7 in Nouadhibou, addressing a range of issues related to living conditions and services in the city, the Mauritanian News Agency (AMI) reported.

Several party leaders, officials and members attended the rally, according to the same source.

In his speech, party president Hamadi Ould Sidi El Moctar thanked party activists and members for attending, saying that the party's repeated visits to Nouadhibou this year reflect its commitment to strengthening ties with its grassroots, "away from seasonal considerations".

He said the visits aim to assess on the ground the situation of residents and the challenges they face, particularly what he described as declining standards of services, rising prices and low salaries.

The Tawassoul president said his party is keen to convey residents' concerns and demands to Parliament, the government and the relevant authorities, and to make their voice heard in decision-making circles, according to AMI.
