Mogadishu mayor to be ousted

(Press TV) — Somali Deputy Prime Minister Ahmed Abdi has said Mogadishu’s mayor will soon be ousted from his position due to his failed administration.

According to Press TV correspondent, two weeks of conflict between the Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hossein and Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeeb led to a decision to oust the mayor and determine a new administration for the Banaadir region, a resolution well received by the people, dissatisfied with the way the city was being run.

Only a week ago Mayor Mohamed Omar Habeeb, a warlord fast losing power, was disarmed by his supposed allies, the Ethiopian Woyanne forces, after failing to pay up the usual sum his administration regularly doled out to the Ethiopian Woyanne army.
