The trial of Mohamed Abdel Aziz, former President of the Republic, before the court in charge of the fight once morest corruption, approaches a decisive turn with the start of the debates on the merits of the case, on the occasion of the hearings on Thursday April 6 and Monday April 10.
These were marked by the parade at the bar of witnesses for the prosecution, with crisp revelations, but also the criticisms of the defense lawyers of the former head of state, in relation to the obstacles erected in relation to the exercise of cross-examination, necessary for the balance between the parties to the trial.
Commenting on the declarations of the first prosecution testimonies, Mr. Lô Gourmo, lawyer for the State of Mauritania, civil party in the case, considers that “the system of siphoning off the property of the people and their resources during the reign of Mohamed Abdel Aziz begins to come to light. Millions and millions of dollars were at the center of innumerable transactions in which the former President of the Republic, Mohamed Abdel Aziz, delivered himself without any restraint, sometimes directly, by himself, in cash. This money which flowed freely, in these astronomical quantities, was very often denominated in foreign currencies. A witness reveals how Ould Abdel Aziz entrusted him with $1 million and the dubious commercial transactions that were behind it.
Even more, 7 billion old ouguiyas were handed over to him by the ex-president”. “Key and emblematic” testimonies whose depositions lead to a forest of questions regarding the origin of all this fortune.
Diametrically opposed echoes on the defense side, with Maître Clédor Cyré, who speaks of “curious witnesses, answering questions from the court, the prosecution and the civil party, refusing to provide answers to the cross-examination of the lawyers of the defense.
Faced with this situation, it was expected that the court would take up the questions of the defense lawyers on its own, insofar as they are witnesses heard under oath. Which means they didn’t come to the stand to refuse to answer questions that might confuse or discredit them” but rather to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth.
This episode gives the trial “the form of a judicial farce, because a witness who appears answers the questions of the one who summons him, but also the cross-examination of the opposing party.
Testimony only makes sense if it is the subject of an adversarial debate, but that is not the case in this trial. In the same way, the documents that the prosecution would like to use must be the subject of a contradictory debate. The violation of all these rules takes us away from the conditions of a fair trial, ”deplores Maître Ly.

“Reflections on 1,000 reconstructions in the bile ducts”, lecture by the president of the Mexican Academy of Surgery at the Faculty of Medicine
As part of the symposium of successful graduates of the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, Dr. Miguel Ángel Mercado Díaz, director of Surgery of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition “Salvador Zubirán” was present. and president of the Mexican Academy of Surgery, who gave the talk, “Reflections on 1000 reconstructions in the bile ducts.”
He explained that he chose this topic since it is what he has been doing for a long time, “in particular, I chose it because it is what I have been doing since I returned from abroad when I did a postgraduate course, regarding how the reconstruction of bile ducts”.
He stressed that despite the fact that this operation is probably the most common in the country, due to different situations, such as anatomical issues, or because of the inflammatory process of the gallbladder, the bile duct is sectioned and when sectioned, it is incompatible with the life”.
Dr. Miguel Ángel Mercado pointed out that when these processes occur, they are temporarily left with fistulas, “for which reason I have dedicated myself to reconstructing them; I managed to make the ‘Salvador Zubirán’ Institute a concentration center, because fortunately it is not a frequent problem, it occurs one to three times in each cholecystectomy”.
He also said that it is not a frequent health problem, but the patient who suffers from this type of injury, his deterioration in quality of life is extraordinarily critical.
Regarding the procedure for this type of reconstruction, he explained that this operation can be considered unnatural, because the small intestine is attached to the bile ducts.
“It is a situation that does not resemble normal anatomical conditions at all, but it is the only option. I have been performing this type of operation for 30 years, resulting in 1,000 bile duct reconstructions”.
Dr. Mercado Díaz expressed his pleasure at being able to mention that the experience they have at the “Salvador Zubirán” National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition is unique. “In the United States, there are probably fewer injuries and there are more hospital centers that can perform this type of surgery; so the experience they have there does not exceed 200 cases, and we have 1,000 cases.”
Finally, he recalled his student years at the Faculty of Medicine of the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí since he belongs to the 1973-1979 generation. “It is a university that I love very much, with an extraordinary level and the best thing that has happened to me in my life, is being a graduate of this Faculty”.
