Mauritania's government has resigned three days after deputies in parliament had filed for a no-confidence vote against it.
The deputies had accused the government of failing to produce the required economic and social policy programme. They also called for a greater share of government posts for opposition Islamist and centre-left parties. The parliamentary no-confidence motion was a first in the Saharan state after a military junta handed over power to civilian democratic rule through elections last year.
