Lasana Gberie describes the background and workings of the Abidjan process that resulted in the Abidjan Accord of November 1996, and its subsequent speedy collapse.

The Liberian peace process 1990–96

Oct 1996

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

Accord Issue 1 documents the lengthy and fractious 1990–96 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.
