Mauritanian police at the Nouakchott airport have prevented former President Mohamed Ould Abdelaziz from travelling abroad, he says.<\/span>

Mr Abdelaziz was about to board an Air France flight when police officers told him he was not allowed to leave the country. They also seized his passport.<\/span>

“I am the former president Mohamed Ould Abdelaziz. The political police prevented me from traveling abroad. Although I am not under any judicial supervision. There is no legal reason from them to prevent me from travelling,” the former president said in a video recording posted on social media.<\/span>

He accused the “corrupt regime” of “targeting him and mistreating him”. The government has not yet responded.<\/span>

The former president together with top officials who worked under him from 2008 to 2019 are being investigated over allegations of corruption and mismanagement.<\/span>

Mr Abdelaziz says he is the victim of political score-settling, and says he should enjoy immunity under the country’s constitution, according to the AFP news agency.<\/span><\/p>\n
