Prime minister of the Somali provisional government quits
Somalia, Politics, 11/29/2003
The prime minister of the provisional Somali government, Othman Jama, announced that he had submitted his resignation to the Somali President Abdul Qasem Salat Hassan, who accepted the resignation.
Jama denied the existence of political differences between him and President Salat Hassan "because both of us dream of a united and peaceful Somalia," adding he will make "visits to all parts of the country in order to give an impetus for peace efforts."
The Somali provisional government was established in August 2000 during a conference for peace on Somalia near Djibouti. Othman Jama was appointed a prime minister four months later. However, this government enjoys influence and authority on only a small part of the country because of the control of the competing warlords since the collapse of Muhammad Seyad Berri in December 1991.
