The Permanent Committee of Al-Insaaf, Mauritania's ruling party, has urged the government to take action against extortion and defamation, describing these practices as "dangerous phenomena that threaten the country's moral and social peace and harm the public sphere." The committee, which met on Tuesday evening, emphasized the need to uphold the values of Mauritanian society and protect the dignity and rights of individuals.

The committee expressed its strong condemnation of extortion, defamation, and other practices that infringe on individuals' dignity and rights. It also praised the government's efforts to launch the new academic year, saying that the education reform process is on the right track after expanding infrastructure and services, and providing necessary human resources.

The committee, led by party leader Mohamed Vall Ould Bilal, reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and accompanying President Mohamed Vall Ould Ghazouani's reform and development program. It called on party members, elected officials, and activists to continue their active engagement in supporting the program and to enhance their presence in the field.

The committee praised Ghazouani's recent visit to the Adrar and Inchiri regions, describing it as a significant success. It also thanked the residents of the two regions and highlighted the importance of the President's speech in Atar, which emphasized the need for a national dialogue to address the country's challenges and build a strong, safe, and cohesive nation.

The committee welcomed Ghazouani's call for a national dialogue, saying it would help to address the country's challenges and build a more cohesive society. It emphasized that this dialogue should be inclusive and free from external influence, with the aim of achieving a collective response to the country's needs.

The committee also praised Ghazouani's call for attention to urban cleanliness and appearance, saying that this is a collective responsibility that reflects the level of awareness and responsibility towards the country. It called on the party's permanent committee to organize activities at the regional level to promote cleanliness and environmental protection.
