Sghair Ould M'Bareck
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sghair Ould M'Bareck (Arabic: اسغير ولد امبارك; born 1954) was the Prime Minister of Mauritania from July 6, 2003, when he was appointed by President Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya following an attempted coup in the previous month,[1] until August 7, 2005, when he resigned following another coup.[2] He replaced Cheikh El Avia Ould Mohamed Khouna who came from the same part of eastern Mauritania as many of the accused 2003 coup plotters. Ould M'Bareck, a Haratin, had previously been Justice Minister.[1]
President Ould Taya was deposed in a military coup on August 3, 2005. Although the coup leaders requested on the following day that Ould M'Bareck and other government ministers remain in their posts,[3] on August 7 he and his government resigned and the coup leaders named a new prime minister, Sidi Mohamed Ould Boubacar, who had previously served from 1992 to 1996.[2]
