Somalia's president said Sunday he has dismissed his prime minister for failing to do his job, a move that could threaten peace efforts in the the violence-ravaged African nation.
Nur Hassan Hussein took office 13 months ago.
Abdullahi Yusuf said he would nominate a replacement for Nur Hassan Hussein within three days. Hussein, a former Red Crescent official appointed 13 months ago, has reportedly been at loggerheads with Yusuf over efforts to reach a reconciliation agreement with an Islamist-led opposition. He has scheduled a news conference later Sunday to respond to the president's accusations. Under the constitution of Somalia's U.N.-backed government, Yusuf would need parliamentary approval for dismissing the prime minister, news reports said. Somalia's government, backed by Ethiopian forces, continues to battle Islamic militias with the fighting concentrated in the capital, Mogadishu. Ethiopian forces have refused to withdraw, as required under a recent cease-fire deal.
Heavy fighting across Somalia has driven more than a million people from their homes. The lawlessness has also spilled onto the seas off the Horn of Africa, where international vessels are routinely hijacked by suspected Somali pirates. Somalia has had a United Nations-backed transitional government -- now based in the town of Baidoa -- since the Ethiopian troops expelled Islamist forces from Mogadishu in December 2006. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/africa/12/14/somalia.politics/index.html?eref=rss_latest
