The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of the Republic of Somalia (Somali: Dowladda federaalka kumeelgaarka) is the present internationally recognized government of Somalia. It was established as one of the Transitional Federal Institutions (TFIs) of government as defined in the Transitional Federal Charter (TFC) adopted in November 2004 by the Transitional Federal Parliament (TFP). The government is backed by Ethiopia, the United States and the UN.
The TFG officially comprises the executive branch of government, with the TFP as the legislative branch. The government is headed by the President of Somalia, to whom the cabinet reports through the Prime Minister. However, it is also used as a general term, for referring to all three branches collectively.
The various departments of government, such as the TFG Defense Ministry fall under the different cabinet portfolios.

[edit] History
The Transitional Federal Government (TFG) of the Republic of Somalia has had a tumultuous history. It is the most recent attempt to restore national institutions to Somalia after the 1991 downfall of Siad Barre and the following Somali Civil War. The country has been run for more than a decade by tribal factions and warlords.
The TFG had little power in much of Somalia until the 2006 Ethiopian invasion, when the rival Islamic Court Union regime in Mogadishu was overthrown. Presently the government, backed by Ethiopian troops, is in conflict with Islamist insurgents and various militias. (See War in Somalia (2006–present))
