(Press TV) — Somalia's president rejects an offer by Ethiopia Woyanne to mediate between him and the prime minister, saying he will take the case to the parliament.
The rift between President Abdullahi Yusuf and Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein has widened after Hussein sacked Mogadishu mayor Mohamed Dheere, Press TV correspondent reports from Mogadishu.
Dheere was sacked over financial mismanagement and his inability to end the worsening security situation in the capital.
Talking at a press conference inside his palace in Mogadishu after meeting Ethiopian Woyanne officials, the president said that he has rejected the mediation offered by the Ethiopians Woyanne and that he will take the case to the parliament for judgment.
He added that as president he has full authority vested to him to ask the parliament to dismiss Dheere.
Meanwhile, heavy clashes broke out again near Baidoa, 250 kilometers southeast of Mogadishu, between the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) forces and the Ethiopian Woyanne soldiers.
Ethiopian Woyanne troops were in the Yakhbari Weyne town area to protect the rest of those comrades who had survived fighting among a group of 39 soliders.
Violence in Somalia has already claimed the lives of more than 8,000 civilians and driven one million people from their homes since January 2007.

It is amazing how some people who have sold their souls to the cheapest boys (skam of earth) the Adwa and Mekele boys would pretend to have some life left in them by acting like a cry baby who is looking for some suckling to pacify him. Abdulahi Yosuf knows the Weyanes got him by the balls. So, why all this pretention of something that he is not. He is not a human being that goes by his own brains. He is a human rimorchio (Trailer) of the Weyane Truck whose driver is the USA.
