The '''2002 Somali Reconciliation Conference''', sometimes called the '''Eldoret conference''' were a series of meetings held in [[Eldoret]], [[Kenya]] during November 2002. It was attended by most supporters of the [[Transitional National Government]] (TNG) of [[Somalia]]. The TNG was the predecessor organization of the [[Transitional Federal Government]] (TFG).

However, at the time, the [[Rahanweyn Resistance Army]] (RRA) was still hotly contending with other factions, including warlord [[Adan Madobe-Habsade]], who captured [[Baidoa]]. The RRA accused the [[Juba Valley Alliance]] of assisting the warlord, an accusation denied by the JVA leader [[Barre Adan Shire Hiiraale]].<ref name=SOMALIA-INTERVIEW-WITH-BARRE-ADAN-SHIRE>[http://www.irinnews.org/report.asp?ReportID=30536&SelectRegion=Horn_of_Africa&SelectCountry=SOMALIA SOMALIA: Interview with Barre Adan Shire, chairman of the Juba Valley Alliance (JVA)] IRIN</ref>
