Somalia's PM resigns in line with deal
None
Somalia's prime minister said he was resigning on Sunday, complying with a deal struck between the president and parliamentary speaker to oust him while extending the troubled administration's term.
"Considering the interest of the Somali people and the current situation in Somalia, I have decided to leave my office," Prime Minister Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed told reporters in the capital Mogadishu. Mohamed, a US-educated former diplomat with a reputation for honesty who returned last year to head a government riven by internal fighting and corruption, said he would not be leaving Mogadishu and expected to assist the new government.
