BANGUI - 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.
