From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lomé Peace Agreement[1] was a peace agreement signed on 7 July 1999 between the warring parties in the civil war that gripped Sierra Leone for almost a decade. President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah signed with the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) leader, Foday Sankoh and granted Sankoh a position in the transitional government as well as amnesty for him and all combatants.[2] The accord is named for Lomé, the capital of Togo, where the negotiations took place and the agreement was signed.
