The Somalia Reconciliation and Restoration Council (SRRC) was a political movement and paramilitary organization based in southern Somalia. It was founded in Ethiopia by a loose coalition of warlords opposing the newly formed Transitional National Government (TNG).[1]

It was founded in April 2001. The SRRC publicly called on the international community to intervene in Somalia and set up a transitional government akin to Afghanistan. During 2002 the Council began fracturing.[2] The SRRC was supported by Puntland.[3]
