The National Reconciliation Congress is held in Mogadishu with the participation of 2,600 delegates representing clans, as well as women's groups and the Diaspora. It is organized by the National Governance and Reconciliation Committee, chaired by former President Ali Mahdi Mohamed. The participants agree on a number of outcomes including the announcement of an end to all conflicts and feuds between Somali clans since 1991; a call to all Somali parties to voluntarily disarm and return looted property; the urging of the Transitional Federal Institutions to complete the constitutional processes that would lead to a Federal State; the conducting of a census and free and fair elections before the end of the transitional period; the demand for a multiparty political system in the country; and a call upon the Transitional Federal Government to amend the Charter to allow non-parliamentarians to join the cabinet. The leaders of the Transitional Federal Institutions pledge to fully implement the recommendations adopted by the Congress.
