Last Friday Oumad Ould Yali, the Minister of Water and Energy announced an increase of over 20% of the water bill and electricity. Yesterday, the president of the National Committee announced a similar increase in oil prices, pump, diesel and gasoline.
Since Nouadhibou, which is held the first cabinet decentralized, Aziz Ould Dahi, Minister of Public Service and Government spokesman, tried to justify these increases by highlighting the rise in oil prices oil. As usual the government takes part traders-speculators against the citizen-consumer!
We are an exporting nation's oil, how is it that the increase in oil prices we would be detrimental?

Still, the response of the street did not expect: spontaneous demonstrations erupted in different parts of the country, first in Timberda then Rosso, and then Djigeunni Kenkoussa. In the latter two cities, police have were quickly overwhelmed by demonstrators, they are referring to the hierarchy, which rebounded to Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, President of the republic but also the Commander Chief of the Armed Forces of Mauritania.
His answer came, Net: Fire at will.
Report: 3 injured including a serious Kenkoussa, who have been shot in the head, died during transport to hospital are Kiffa. For the other two, the diagnosis remains uncertain life, pessimistic view. A Djigeunni, the balance is heavier: 2 dead, two teenagers, ages 16 and 19 years.
For p0remière time in the history of Mauritania, the police, on instructions from the president, opened fire on protesters désarmés, l'ont se souvient du décès de Fatimetou Mint Youssouf, morte asphyxié par les grenades lacrymogènes de la police, lors d'une manifestations contre Ould Taya. Sous la démocratie de Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, les morts sont tombés sous des balles réelles, tiré non sur les pieds (pour immobiliser), mais sur la tête, donc avec la volonté de donner la mort.
Ceci est l'une des toutes premières réalisations de Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi, d'autres suivrons certainement, demain, lors de la gigantesque manifestation qui aura lieu à Nouakchott.
