Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz says he will return to his country "in a few days," following treatment in France for a gunshot wound.
The president spoke to journalists Tuesday in Paris, after meeting with French President Francois Hollande.
Aziz was shot by a soldier outside the Mauritanian capital October 13, in what was described as an accident. He was airlifted to France for treatment the following day.
He was discharged from a Paris hospital last month but has yet to return home.
Lawmakers have demanded updates on his condition, amid questions about who is running the country in his absence.
