A group of candidates who qualified for a supplementary list of judicial positions in Mauritania have appealed to President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani to integrate them into the main list of successful candidates. The candidates, who number around 32, claim they were selected from a pool of nearly 1,000 applicants. They argue that their academic credentials and the country's needs warrant their inclusion in the main list.
The chairman of the supplementary list, Cheikh Sidaty Ould Mohamed, stated that the candidates are seeking integration due to several factors. These include the similarity in academic performance between the supplementary list candidates and those on the main list. Ould Mohamed also cited the need for human resources in the judicial sector and the establishment of a judicial institute.
The institute, according to Ould Mohamed, will provide training for the first batch of judicial candidates. This will enable the country to absorb the large number of applicants. Another factor, he noted, is the age of some candidates on the supplementary list. Some are unlikely to have the opportunity to apply for judicial positions in the future due to their age and the limited number of vacancies.
Maimouna Bent Amberick, a candidate on the supplementary list, emphasized the need for integration. She pointed out that some candidates on the list have high academic qualifications and skills but limited opportunities for employment. Bent Amberick also highlighted the importance of including women in the judicial selection process.
As the sole female candidate to qualify for the judicial position, Bent Amberick urged the authorities to consider her case. She argued that integrating the supplementary list would not only be fair but also provide an opportunity for candidates with high potential to contribute to the judicial sector.
The candidates' appeal comes as the Mauritanian government seeks to strengthen its judicial institutions. The establishment of the judicial institute is part of this effort. The institute aims to provide professional training for judicial candidates and enhance the efficiency of the judicial system.
The integration of the supplementary list remains uncertain. However, the candidates' determination to pursue their goal is evident. They are hopeful that their appeal will be considered, and they will be given the opportunity to contribute to the country's judicial sector.
