Mauritania’s Moderate Reformist Trend affirms that it adopts the method of the Egyptian moderate Muslim Brotherhood group, adding that it will ask the government to boost its partnership with Europe and promote, to some extent, cooperation with the US, said its head, Mohammad Jamil Ould Mansour, in a press conference held on Monday 13. He called for banning the use of mosques for political campaigns in the upcoming parliamentary elections on November 19, citing the sanctity and neutrality of the houses of worship and criticizing those who attempt to exploit them in the election campaigns, which started two weeks ago. The Muslim Brotherhood trend has fielded 30 candidates as independents in the coming 95- member parliament. Since the Mauritanian law bans forming religious parties, the Pro-MB Moderate Reformist Trend opted to field its candidates on the slate of the Socialist Democratic Unionist Party with national Ba’athist inclinations.
