Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) says its chief Iyad Madani has resigned. OIC Secretary-General’s resignation comes two days after infuriating Egypt over a remark that mocked President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

The 57-member bloc said, OIC General Secretariat takes this chance to express its utmost appreciation and respect to all member states. The OIC statement said, Saudi Arabia has nominates its former minister of social affairs, Youssef al-Utaymeen, to replace Madani.
