On 17 January 2008,after a civil service strike began early in the month,demanding that the government pay wage arrears,a majority of deputies in the National Assembly filed a censure motion against Doté's government,and the motion was to be considered on 19 January. On 18 January 2008,it was announced that Dotéand his government had resigned and Bozizéhad accepted the resignation.
