Sodere and Cairo Agreement
Earlier peace agreements include the Sodere Agreement (1996) and the Cairo Agreement (1997) where Somali faction leaders agreed on a National Salvation Council to oppose General Aided. This was preceded by the Addis Ababa Agreement (1993) in which the leaders of 15 movements signed agreements on a ceasefire, a monitoring group and disarmament in UN-chaired talks. Later, they agreed on a Transitional National Council but it ended in June 1993 when UNOSOM II troops were attacked. As early as July 1991, Djibouti hosted a National Reconciliation Conference for all Somali factions, except former President Said Barre's SNF, which agreed on a ceasefire and a parliament with Ali Mahdi Mohammed as interim President, though this was derailed by fighting.
