In a show of support for Morocco following the recent earthquake, Mauritania’s Ministry of Interior and Decentralization banned celebrations and public events. This decision, reported by Sahara Media, is to respect Morocco’s feelings during this tough time.

The Minister of Interior and Decentralization, Mohamed Ahmed Ould Mohamed Al-Amin, issued the ban. He said it’s to show respect and solidarity with Morocco ordering all authorities all over Mauritania to follow this decision.

Mauritania’s President, Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, sent condolences to Morocco’s King Mohammed VI. 

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.0, hit southern Morocco in the Al Haouz region. It has tragically caused over a thousand deaths and hundreds of injuries.

President Ould Ghazouani said, “Mauritania is with you during this painful time.” He also prayed for Morocco’s safety and security.
