What did the 1999 Lusaka Peace Accord attempt to achieve?

The 1999 Lusaka Peace Accord was an agreement designed to end the hostilities of the Second Congo War in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its primary provisions included establishing a ceasefire and facilitating the deployment of United Nations peacekeeping forces, known as the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC).12

Although the accord was signed by most parties involved in the conflict, it was not fully implemented, and the fighting persisted. The war, which drew in several neighboring countries and various armed groups, continued until later agreements—such as the 2002 Pretoria agreement—eventually provided a framework for a power-sharing government and the integration of militias into a unified national army.12
