The United Somali Congress is a politico-military organization in Somalia based around Hawiye clan. It was led by Mohamed Farrah Aidid until his death in [[1996]Allaha u Naxariiste]; he was succeeded by his son Hussein Mohamed Farrah. It was the main target of the unsuccessful U.N./U.S. Operation Restore Hope.

Supporters of the United Somali Congress participate in the Transitional Federal Government formed in late 2004. As of 2006, Mohamed Qanyar Afrax is the leader of the organization.^{[citation needed]}
