ADDIS ABAB, Ethiopia (AP) - Somalia's president and prime minister say they have signed a cooperation deal after weeks of infighting threatened to tear apart an already fragile administration.
The deal follows 10 days of crisis talks in neighboring Ethiopia.
The Somali government was formed in 2004 with the backing of the U.N., but has failed to assert control.
President Abdullahi Yusuf and Prime Minister Nur Hassan Hussein have been squabbling for weeks, since Hussein fired a key ally of the president. Both appeared in the Ethiopia capital Tuesday to announce the deal.
