Mauritanian political parties participating in the national dialogue have agreed to increase the number of members in the oversight committee.

This decision was made during a meeting with the committee's chairman, Moussa Fal, to discuss the committee's composition. The meeting aimed to prepare for the upcoming stages of the dialogue.

This included seven representatives from the majority and opposition parties, with six seats allocated to civil society and national figures. The parties signed the reference document for the dialogue on July 14, after over a year of preparation and consultations. This marked a significant step in the dialogue process.
The discussion on the committee's composition is ongoing, with the allocation of three additional seats yet to be determined. The parties have postponed the decision on the number of seats for civil society and independent figures to the next meeting.
