The 60-year-old Akayev fled his poor
nation on China's western border on March 24, after weeks of simmering
discontent over a parliamentary election boiled over and thousands of protestors
overran the main seat of government in the capital Bishkek.
Akayev's official resignation removes the last doubts about the legitimacy of
Kyrgyzstan's new rulers and should allow for the smooth running of a new
presidential election, tentatively set for June 26.
