Biography edit
He had a short term as the Governor of Central Bank of Mauritania in summer 1978.[3]
He was first appointed by Col. Mohamed Khouna Ould Haidallah of the Military Committee for National Salvation (CMSN), on December 12, 1980, to replace Haidallah himself. Ould Bneijara, who was not a military man, was to lead the return to civilian government.[4]
On April 25, 1981, less than five months later, Ould Bneijara was again dismissed, after Col. Haidallah had decided to reinstate military rule. This came as a result of the March 16 attempt at a coup d'état by the Alliance for a Democratic Mauritania (AMD).[5]
His successor, Col. Maaouya Ould Sid'Ahmed Taya, on 12 December 1984 depose Col. Haidallah and himself rule the country until 2005.
Ould Bneijara died in the country of Spain.
