The Juba Valley Alliance was formed from the predecessor organization " Allied Somali Forces " ( ASF). This in turn was founded to fight against the militias of Siad Hersi Morgan and Hussein Mohammed Farah - the son of Mohammed Farah Aidid - and to drive them out of Kismayo. In June 1999, the ASF was able to take control of Kismayo. In June 2001 she renamed herself and decided to join the Somali interim government . Fighting continued with Siad Hersi, who does not recognize the transitional government. In 2006, the Union of Islamic Courts temporarily ousted the JVA from Kismayo.
