The transitional federal government (TFG) was the government of Somalia between 2004 and 2012. Established 2004 in Djibouti through various international conferences, it was an attempt to restore national institutions to the country after the 1991 collapse of the Siad Barre government and the ensuing Somali Civil War. There were two distinct phases of the transitional government: the transitional national government (TNG) and the transitional federal government: The transitional national government (TNG) was formed in April–May 2000 at the Somalia National Peace Conference (SNPC) in Djibouti. It had the following: 2000: Election of Abdiqasim Salad Hassan as president by the clan/faction representatives, 2001: National Commission for Reconciliation and Property Settlement, 2002: 2002 Somali Reconciliation Conference in Eldoret, Kenya. The TNG was opposed by a rival pan-Somali governmental movement, known as the Somalia Reconciliation and Restoration Council (SRRC). Eventually the factions of the TNG and the SRRC were reconciled, and a new united movement subsequently developed, dubbed the transitional federal government (TFG). The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) was formed in October–November 2004 in Nairobi, Kenya with the adoption of the following transitional federal institutions (TFI), all accomplished by the end of the sessions: Selection of 275 transitional federal parliament (TFP) members Approval of the Transitional Federal Charter (TFC) Election of Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed as President of Somalia and head of the TFG by the Parliament (October 10), and his appointment of the Council of Ministers, including Prime Minister Ali Mohammed Ghedi (November 4). 2000 Somalia National Peace Conference Officially dubbed the 2002 Somalia National Peace Conference (SNPC), and sometimes called the Djibouti conference, this was a series of meetings held in Arta, Djibouti, on April 20 – May 5, 2000.
