	Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born in the town of Atar (Adrar Region), Ould Taya attended a Franco-Arabic Primary School from 1949 to 1955.
		The last years of Ould Taya's rule were marred by political unrest, both that initiated by opponents in the military, and increasing Islamist attacks on the government.
		While Ould Taya was out of the country for the funeral of Saudi king Fahd in early August 2005, soldiers seized government buildings and the state media.
