NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania — Mauritania’s ousted prime minister refused to recognize the African country’s ruling military junta Monday, after he was freed from house arrest under international pressure.
Prime Minister Yahya Ould Ahmed Waqef told a rally of several thousand people that the country would not accept last week’s bloodless coup that forced President Sidi Ould Cheikh Abdallahi from power. Abdallahi remains under arrest.
