"We are working to overcome these failures," declared Aziz, whose comments were relayed Wednesday through the state-owned media.
He explained that the Mauritanian army, in particular, suffered from mismanagement and that the security forces did not have the equipment and means necessary to fulfill their security role regarding terrorism.
