Somalia:
President Abduallahi Yusuf has the final word
Djibouti (HAN) July 30th, 2008 - The current Somalia
PM Nour Adde, sacked the governor and Mogadishu mayor
Mohamed Omar Habeb Wednesday on accusations of misuse of power
and corruption, sparking a row among senior government
officials, including the TNG President Abdualahi Yusuf , sources
told HAN in Mohadishu.
However, Habeeb said President Abduallahi Yusuf has the final
word on his dismissal.
"I believe the process of my dismissal is not complete...the
final decision of my dismissal should be reached by the
president," he said.
"The office of the prime minister can only propose and the
president makes the final decision, " he told reporters.
A Yusuf ally told AFP that the president was unhappy with the
mayor's sacking, he added "President Abduallahi Yusuf has the
final word."
Habeeb, a former warlord, a member of CIA's regional
anti-terrorism units, who ruled the country's Middle Shabeele
region before being ousted by Islamists in 2006, was appointed
mayor of the violence-wracked capital last year.
Islamist fighters have carried out a deadly insurgency, mainly
in Mogadishu, since their movement was toppled by Ethiopian and
Somali government forces in early 2007.
