Early Life and Military Career
Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Louly joined the army in November 1960. This was the same year Mauritania became an independent country. He received his military training in special academies in France. After his training, he held many important jobs in the government of President Moktar Ould Daddah.
Role in Government Changes
In 1978, Louly was one of the people who helped create the Military Committee for National Recovery (CMRN). This group, led by Mustafa Ould Salek, took control of the country on July 10, 1978. They removed President Moktar Ould Daddah from power in a military takeover. This happened because of problems related to the conflict in the Western Sahara.
On April 6, 1979, Louly, along with Bouceif and Lieutenant Colonel Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidalla, formed a new group. This group was called the Military Committee for National Salvation (CMSN). Louly held several important jobs as a minister in the government under Salek.
Becoming Leader
On June 3, 1979, Mohamed Mahmoud Ould Louly took over as president. This happened after Mustafa Ould Salek resigned from his position. Salek's power within the CMSN had become weaker. Also, Mauritania was facing economic problems because of the conflict in the Western Sahara.
End of Leadership
Louly's time as leader was short. On January 4, 1980, his prime minister, Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidalla, removed him from office.
