By: Doaa Emam

From the top of a mosque in the Mauritanian capital Nouakchott, Mohamed El Hassan Ould Daddou, president of the Center for the Formation of Scholars, hinted that President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz’s speech on Thursday (September 20th) on the possibility of dissolving the National Rally for Reform and Development The Muslim Brotherhood, is a “disobeying of the rule of God.”

This is what led the brothers of Mauritania – in defense of themselves – to deal with the president with all kinds of blame, rather they directed accusations of mischief and immorality, and dedicated the Friday sermon in the mosque attached to the «Center for the formation of Scholars» pro-group, to undermine the President and promoting the idea that – with his blatant war on the Muslim Brotherhood – he fighting the law of God !.

Muhammad al-Hasan al-Daddo hinted that the siege of the Islamist groups is a disobedience to the rule of Allah, and that those who issue such decisions do not represent the succession of the Messenger of Allah, and not on the prophetic approach.

And here the Mauritanian authorities alerted to the rapprochement between both «Tawasol» and «the formation of Scholars»; issued a decision on Monday evening, September 24, 2018, the closure of the center and the withdrawal of the license; after sending a number of missions to the center. In order to find out the suitability of the educational curricula in the country and methods of teaching and its sources of funding, to show the link «formation of Scholars in the Brotherhood».

Ould Daddou was soon acquitted of the group, claiming that the center was concerned only with educational and advocacy matters, pointing out that it had nothing to do with the “contacts” or the brothers of Mauritania. This means that the decision to withdraw the license is illegal.

Who is following the path of Ould Daddou, who is always denying his relationship with the Brotherhood, will find that he is taking the first ranks of those attend the third conference held by the party last December. As well as, writing a poem that was told by his sons «Omar and Ali», welcomed the visit of Khaled Meshaal, head of the former political bureau of the Hamas movement (of the Muslim Brotherhood) .

In 2012, the head of the center appeared wearing a green insignia with the slogan of Hamas, the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. Ould Aldo was invited to attend the festival organized by the movement in the Gaza Strip. He delivered a speech as the head of the Mauritanian delegation, and the mother group, demanding support of the movement with money and weapons.

On the pulpit of the Mosque of the Center for the Formation of Scholars, he exchanges speeches from the first grade of the Muslim Brotherhood and its leaders and thinkers. Exploiting the pulpit to spread and publicize the Brotherhood’s ideology openly, and this propaganda emerged most strongly during the sermons of incitement during the Arab Spring revolutions.

Earlier, Mohamed Ghulam Ould Cheikh, deputy head of the party, commented on the Mauritanian authorities’ decision to close the center. “Today, the Mauritanian regime has revealed its real face and anger. It is not different from other arrogant coup leaders with totalitarian thought, which exercises trusteeship of society and thinking on his behalf ».
