The Alliance for the Re-liberation of Somalia (ARS) is an Islamist organization based in the Horn of Africa. It was created in September 2007 when members of the Islamic Courts Union and Somali opposition leaders met in Asmara the capital of Eritrea and united to oppose Somalia’s Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the latter’s Ethiopian allies. The group was active until January 2009 when ARS members were formally incorporated into the TFG parliament following a peace agreement.
