Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia

The Alliance for the Re–liberation of Somalia (ARS) was a political party formed in Eritrea in September 2007 as an Islamist-led but broad-based coalition that served as the political successor to the Islamic Courts Union (ICU) during the Ethiopian military occupation of Somalia. It served as the principal political opposition to the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia (TFG) and participated in the 2007 and 2008 years of the insurgency.
