Mauritanian journalists protest Israeli attacks on Gaza

Nouakchott, Mauritania - The Mauritanian Press Association (RPM), Wednesday organised a sit-in, in front of the United Nations' country office in Nouakchott, Mauritania's capital, to protest against Israeli attacks and massacre on Gaza, in Palestine.

Several dozens of journalists from the public and private media joined in the protest, during which RPM General Secretary, Ahmed Ould Cheikh, demanded the "immediate and unconditional" breach of diplomatic relations between Mauritania and Israel to reject the "barbarous invasion and spoliation policy of the Zionist State . "

Another protester, Ba Adama Moussa, denounced the "paradox of the UN policy, which advocates a double standards approach by accepting an Israeli action based on violence and brutality, while rejecting coups in Africa, even though overthrown presidents would take their countries downhill, as it was the case in Mauritania. "

Moussa said UN's silence to the massacre of children and women in Gaza was "unacceptable".
