A Mauritanian national named Ould Bouceif was kidnapped this Saturday near the town of Adel Baghrou, in Hodh Charghi, according to an authorized source.
According to the same source, those close to Ould Bouceif informed the Mauritanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
His relatives are demanding his release and are worried about his fate.
Since the departure of Minusma and the resumption of hostilities between the Malian junta and the Tuaregs, the Russian Wagner militia, which supports the Malian transitional authorities, is often cited in excesses in Mauritanian territory.
The Mauritanian authorities have always favored understanding between the two neighboring countries, favoring the diplomatic route to ease the tension at the border.
