Mauritanian President Urged to Intervene to Reopen Quran Schools
TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Friday prayers leader of Nema, a city in southeastern Mauritania, called on the country’s president to intervene in expediting the reopening of Quranic schools that have been closed.
Sheikh Muhammad al-Amin Yusuf criticized the continued closure of Quranic schools in the African country.
He said hundreds of students of these schools have been deprived of Quranic education for months, which is unacceptable.
Sheikh Yusuf called on President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz to prevent those targeting Quranic institutes from achieving their objectives.
In December last year, the Mauritanian government’s move to shut down Quranic institutes and schools drew protests in different parts of the country.
The Islamic Republic of Mauritania is a country in the Maghreb region of western North Africa.
The country’s population is estimated to be about 4 million and virtually all Mauritanians are Muslims.
