10/03/2010
Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz and Senegalese Armed Forces Minister Abdoulaye Balde talked Tuesday (March 9th) in Nouakchott about shared security concerns, ANI reported. "We discussed matters of common interest related to national defence as well as managing the common border," Balde said about the meeting with Ould Abdel Aziz. In an effort to stem illegal migration, terrorism and trafficking, Mauritania last month created 35 official checkpoints on its borders with Senegal, Mali, Western Sahara and Algeria.
