Qatar Offers Asylum to Mauritania's Taya
Qatar has offered asylum to Mauritania's ousted President Maaouya Ould Sid Ahmed Taya almost two weeks after he was overthrown in a bloodless coup, a Gambian official said yesterday. "Qatar has invited Taya to seek asylum there," said a Gambian official in the capital Banjul, where Taya is currently in temporary refuge. A Mauritanian diplomatic source also said Qatar had made an offer. Officials in Qatar were not available to comment. Posted by: Fred 2005-08-17 |
