Somali National Alliance

The Somali National Alliance (SNA) was a political and military coalition formed in the early 1990s, primarily consisting of clans and factions that supported Siad Barre’s government after his fall. It aimed to stabilize parts of southern Somalia through military strength and political influence. The SNA played a significant role in the country's ongoing civil conflict, often opposing rival groups vying for power. Over time, it became a key player in Somalia’s complex clan-based politics, and its influence declined as the country's fragmented state evolved, contributing to the ongoing challenge of peace and reconciliation.
