The Supreme Revolutionary Council (SRC; Somali: Gollaha Sare ee Kacaanka, Arabic: المجلس الثوري الأعلى, Italian: Consiglio Rivoluzionario Supremo) was the governmental body that ruled Somalia from 1969 to 1976.[citation needed]

In 1980, a state of emergency was declared and the SRC was reinstated.[1]
