| (35 minutes later) | |
| Central Africa Republic's interim President Michel Djotodia has resigned at a regional summit aimed at ending violence that has engulfed the country. | |
| CAR's entire transitional assembly is attending the meeting in Chad organised by regional leaders. | |
| Mr Djotodia, CAR's first Muslim leader, had been resisting pressure to go. | |
| His seizure of power last year has led to 20% of the population fleeing their homes amid fighting between Christian and Muslim militias. | |
| The resignation was made in a statement by the 10-nation Economic Community of Central African States (Eccas) . | |
| Earlier Eccas Secretary-General Ahmat Allami said members of CAR's National Transitional Council (CNT) had been flown in at short notice to decide the leadership of their nation. | |
| The lawmakers met regional leaders while Mr Djotodia held separate talks with allies from his former Seleka rebel alliance, AFP news agency reported. |
