Sun City Agreement

The Sun City Agreement was an agreement that was signed between some of the warring parties in the Second Congo War on 2 April 2003 at the luxury South African casino resort of Sun City, as a result of the Inter-Congolese dialogue (ICD).[1][2] Delegates hoped that this would be a historic "final act", ending more than four years of war and setting up a government of national unity.
