The Military Committee for National Recovery (Arabic: المجلس العسكري للإنعاش الوطني; French: Comité Militaire de Redressement National, CMRN) was a short-lived military Government of Mauritania after the coup d'état that removed long-time President Moktar Ould Daddah on July 10, 1978, until a second coup on April 6, 1979.[1][2]
It was headed by Colonel Mustafa Ould Salek.[3] It was followed by a second junta, the Military Committee for National Salvation (CMSN).[4]

Daddah's ill-fated participation in the Western Sahara War and the resulting ruin of the Mauritanian economy led to a military coup in July 1978. Daddah was detained and later exiled, and his government was replaced by the eighteen-member Military Committee for National Recovery (Comité Militaire de Redressement National—CMRN) with Lieutenant Colonel Mustapha Salek as president.
