Liberia

Liberia, Africa’s oldest republic, became better known in the 1990s for its bloody civil war that had killed more than 200,000 people by 1996. 

Accord 1 documents the lengthy and fractious 1990–1996 peace process and explores why 13 separate peace accords collapsed in half as many years.

Authors analyse the impact of economic forces and the erosion of civilian power on the conflict, as well as outlining and assessing the successes and failures of local peace initiatives and international interventions.
