The United Somali Congress (USC) was one of the major political and paramilitary organizations of Somalia. Formed in 1987, it played a key role in the ouster of the government of Siad Barre, and became a major target of Operation Restore Hope campaign in 1993. It had devolved through numerous fragmentations throughout the years, but by 2004, its members and alumni would be key participants in the Transitional Federal Government.
