    		Your reference says that "until recently" Baidoa was the seat of the Somalian government. So apparently it must have moved somewhere else?

    		It says here that the whole government was sacked on December 17, 2008. So perhaps there isn't a goverment?

    		Under the transitional federal charter, the president needs the parliament's approval to sack the prime minister.

    So, apparently -- It's not a done deal.
