PRESSTV
The Somali parliament has warned that it would remove President Abdullahi Yusuf should he fail to appear before lawmakers within 14 days.
The announcement comes a day after Yusuf called the impeachment move an illegal attempt to remove him from power.
The Somali President came under fire over the weekend for defying the parliament in sacking Prime Minister Nur "Adde" Hassan Hussein. On Tuesday, Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed appointed Mohamud Mohamed Guled as the new prime minister.
Following the appointment, the parliament called for Yusuf's impeachment charging that he has violated 14 articles of Somalia's transitional charter.
