Somali prime minister steps down

[musika man]

The prime minister of Somalia's transitional government, Ali Mohamed Ghedi, has resigned.
Mr Ghedi told MPs of his decision after handing in his resignation to President Abdullahi Ahmed Yusuf.

Mr Ghedi has been blamed for failing to quell the Islamist insurgency in Somalia and for bringing Ethiopian troops onto Somali soil.

On Sunday, thousands fled the capital, Mogadishu, after Ethiopian troops opened fire on protestors.

The BBC's East Africa correspondent Karen Allen says that the prime minister's political future has for some time hung in the balance.

She says that despite efforts to salvage his job during talks at the weekend in Ethiopia, he has agreed to step down after pressure from within Somalia and the international community, in particular from the US.

Clan rivalries

Mr Ghedi's resignation was swiftly accepted by President Abdullahi Yusuf.

The pair have had a fractured relationship fuelled by clan rivalries during the three years they have worked together in Somalia's transitional government.
Thousands have been fleeing violence in Mogadishu
Mr Ghedi is from the Hawiye

clan, which is dominant in Mogadishu and is the largest in the country.

President Yusuf is from the breakaway northern state of Puntland and comes from the Darod clan, the country's second largest.

Observers say the fear is that with Mr Ghedi gone, the Hawiye will now be even more united in their opposition to Mr Yusuf's transitional government.

Aides close to the president said that the resignation was part of a deal to end what he called the political confusion in Somalia.

The Ethiopians, seen as rivals by many Somalis, have been fighting alongside Somali troops to try and restore order to the fractured country, but many see them as inflaming tensions.

Somalia has been without an effective government since civil war began in 1991, but has seen a surge in violence since Ethiopian-backed government troops ousted Islamists last December.

The UN says some 400,000 people have fled the violence in Mogadishu in the past four months.

Your damn right I'm sure about it. This man is 5x more money than anyone in the TFG. He has Saudi/NGO etc. money in his pocket. Why else do you think all the mps supported the move even some from his own clan?

He stole millions, and he brought 2 huge mansions in some exlusive neighborhood in Nairobi. He's a gangster.

looool I was reading it from Dayniile news...When he announced his resignation it was a total shock to the hildhibanadha that supported him. They almost carried becuase now they know Caasho Fanax left and Caasho Yusuf will lynch them. Non of these fockers don't care about Somalia and it's people. Like Olmert I hope they get sick with prostate cancer....

They all the same man. One dog steps down another steps up so what is the difference? Our people were already crippled by hunger and infectious diseases and on top of that now they brought Ethiopians to level down our people. What more is left? We might as well be placed on the endagered species. On the other hand foking Ethiopia is growning like bacteria.
