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.
