APTOPIX Mauritania Election
Gen. Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, left, speaks to the press shortly after being declared the victor in the previous day's presidential election, in central Nouakchott, Mauritania Sunday, July 19, 2009. Nearly a year after seizing power in a military putsch that ousted Mauritania's first freely elected leader, Aziz won the presidency Sunday in a landslide vote his opponents decried as a fraudulent "electoral coup."
