| Mauritania in talks with AU after snubbing ultimatum |
| 2008-10-08 |
| Mauritania's military junta met top African Union officials in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, a day after an AU deadline for reinstating the ousted president passed unheeded. The eight-man delegation held talks with the pan-African body's top executive, Jean Ping, even as opposition protesters were set to defy a ban on demonstrations in the Mauritanian capital, Nouakchott. |
