In the absence of political parties, in 1987 political demands found informal expression only through the various interest groups within Mauritanian society. Their interaction with the military government provided some indication of the regime's support. Four interest groups offered contrasts in how they related to government: blacks, who questioned the legitimacy of any government headed by Maures traditional elites, whose importance diminished under the military women, whose limited political strength has come only at the sufferance of the government and labor unions. Mauritania's most important interest group was the military, for which the rules of politics were different (see Role of the Military in Society , ch. 5).
