He was named President Of Mauritania on 3 August 2005 by the Military Council For Justice And Democracy , a group of officers who had overthrown President Maaouya Ould Taya (in power for 21 years) in a popular bloodless Coup . Ely Ould Mohamed Vall had previously been director of the national police force, the '' Sûreté Nationale '', since 1987 , and had been regarded as an ally of President Ould Taya.
