Sawab (Arabic: حزب الصواب, translation: Right Path), is a small Ba'athist and Arab nationalist political party in Mauritania.[1]
The party was formed on 23 May 2004 by supporters of former Mauritanian Head of State Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidalla,[2] although the party denies any links with Haidalla.[3]
Most of the party's Ba'athists were formerly associated with the Iraqi dominated faction.[4][5] Support for the party is mainly confined to a small Arab elite.[1]
As of 2013 the party was led by Abdessalam Ould Horma, and was a member of the opposition Coalition for Pacific Alternation, along with People's Progressive Alliance and El-Wiam.[6]
