NAIROBI (KENYA): Members of Somalia's transitional Parliament elected former army officer Abdullahi Yusuf as interim President for the war-torn Horn of Africa nation, the Parliament Speaker has said. The vote on Sunday was the final stage in a peace plan to end 13 years of civil war and restore a government to Somalia, which has been divided into fiefs ruled by rival warlords since 1991, when Siad Barre was ousted. Mr. Yusuf won with 189 votes in a third round of voting, Speaker Shariif Hassan Sheikh Aden told the 275-member transitional Parliament and regional Foreign Affairs Ministers, who observed the vote. The former Finance Minister, Abdullahi Addow, garnered 79 votes against Mr. Yusuf, Mr. Aden said. The run-off was called after none of the 28 original candidates won a clear majority.
