Talk:United Somali Congress

History

The often confusing, violent history of the USC needs a better cut at it. There are the following stages:

• 1988–1991 foundation to the overthrow of of Siad Barre
• 1991–1992 Mohammed Aidid vs. Ali Mahdi Mohammed until the foundation of the USC/SNA
• 1992–1995 USC during the UN interventions
• 1995–1998 USC vs. SNA until the reconciliation
• 1998–2001 Infighting between Ali Mahdi and Musa Sudi Yalahow
• 2001–2003 Infighting between Musa Sudi Yalahow (SRRC) vs. Omar Finish (TNG)
• 2004–present USC in context of the Transitional Federal Government (TFG)

I inserted the timeline above. People might want to see if we can get better citations in the text highlighting each of these periods. --Petercorless 05:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Present status

Presently, it is even unclear whether the USC, as an entity, exists in anything more than name, or whether the name is simply perpetuated by the individual warlords. Anyone have a clear picture on where the USC, as a military or political entity, stands in 2007? --Petercorless 05:36, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Foundation of the USC

 The United Somali Congress was founded and registered in Rome, Italy as political entity that would represent the Hawiye famiy of clans and oppose the rule of Siad Bare. Its founders as listed on the registration form are Founders, 1989: Dr. Omar M. Hassan, Hussein Ahmed Mohamed, Abdi Hilowle Hassan, Hassan Mohamud Moheddin, Hassan Omar Mohamed. Subsquent meetings held in Adis Ababa, Ethiopia led to the election of Farah Aideed and coordinated intrusion onto Somalia in coordination with SNM and SSDF.
