===Revival of the Jubaland administration===
After the establishment of the [[Juba Valley Alliance|Jubba Valley Alliance]] by the [[Somali National Front|SNF]] militia, a few months later, the clan militia, which had been divided during the civil wars that took place among the same clan, along with elders, intellectuals, and clan leaders, established a self-administration on August 28, 2001. This administration united the three regions they inhabited, and they selected [[Kismayo]] as the capital. They elected Barre Aden Shire Hiiraale as the president, who led the administration until late 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-05-17 |title=Jubba elders: We chose President Barre Adan Shire to lead Jubbaland |url=https://www.somaliaonline.com/community/topic/67323-jubba-elders-we-chose-president-barre-adan-shire-to-lead-jubbaland/ |access-date=2024-08-16 |website=Somali Forum - Somalia Online |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite report |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep32025 |title=A Turbulent Run-up to Elections in Somalia |last=Project |first=Armed Conflict Location & Event Data |date=2021 |publisher=Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project}}</ref>
