Monday, 29 December 2008Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf resigned on Monday, ending a deadlock at the top of an interim government blamed for stalling a U.N.-backed peace process in the Horn of Africa nation.
"As I promised when you elected me on October 14, 2004, I would stand down if I failed to fulfil my duty, I have decided to return the responsibility you gave me," Yusuf told parliament. "The speaker will take over my responsibility."
