Somali lawmakers said on Thursday they were determined to stage a vote of no confidence to oust the President, dismissing international warnings it would hamper peace efforts in the war-torn nation.
“This motion is not aimed at destruction, but rather correction,” said MP Abdi Barre Yusuf, who is backing the motion accusing President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud of corruption. The motion was filed earlier this week, and still has to be approved by the speaker before being put to Parliament.
