Somali President Yusuf Will Not Resign Position, Spokesman Says
By Hamsa Omar
Dec. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed won’t resign this weekend, his spokesman said, dismissing a New York Times report he is set to quit.
“I am strongly condemning propaganda reports” claiming the president will step down, presidential spokesman Hussein Mohamoud Mohamed Hubsired said in a telephone interview from Mogadishu today. “The president will not resign and there is no case for him to resign. The president will continue his duties until his mandate” expires.
The newspaper reported yesterday that Yusuf, who became president four years ago, was set to resign, a move that might spark a clan-based battle to succeed him.
