Somali National Front

Somali National Front

The Somali National Front (SNF) was a political revolutionary movement and armed militia, initially made up of loyalists to Siad Barre, and the remnants of the Somali National Army forces after his ouster from office. Their intent and goal was to recapture Mogadishu and reinstate the regime of Siad Barre.

Later, under General Omar Hagi Masallah, the SNF united the Marehan with the other Darod led by General Mohamed Said Hersi "Morgan" then attempted to conquer the region around Kismayo, to form the autonomous district of Jubaland.
