Transitional Federal Government of Somalia

The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of Somalia was established in 2004 as part of an African Union-led peace process, aiming to restore stability after years of conflict. Despite initial support from Ethiopia and Kenya, the TFG faced numerous challenges, including weak governance, limited control over territory, corruption, and security issues.

Key factors contributing to the TFG's failure include:

By 2011, the TFG lost Mogadishu to al-Shabaab and dissolved in 2012 with the formation of the Somali Federal Government. The TFG's dissolution was due to a combination of internal governance weaknesses, external dependency, and failing security structures.
