Parliament sacks Somali speaker
Somalia's transitional parliament has voted overwhelmingly to sack its speaker, Sharif Hassan Sheikh Adan.
He opposed Ethiopia's intervention and fell out with both the interim president and the prime minister.
He also called for peace talks with the Islamists who lost control of southern Somalia, including the capital, Mogadishu, last month.
Mr Aden, currently on a tour of Europe, said the Ethiopian occupation meant decisions by MPs were null and void.
The vote at the parliament in Baidoa, was carried by 183 votes to nine.

Ethiopia wants to pull its soldiers out of Somalia within weeks.
Over the weekend, the regional body, Igad, sent envoys to seven African countries, asking them to contribute to a proposed 8,000-strong peacekeeping force.
