description Bicesse Accords Overview
The Bicesse Accords, signed in May 1991 at Bicesse near Estoril, Portugal, were a peace agreement between Angola's MPLA government and the UNITA movement led by Jonas Savimbi. They established a ceasefire, provided for the integration of the two armed forces, and set a framework for Angola's first multi-party elections, which were held in September 1992. Portugal mediated the talks, with the United States and the Soviet Union acting as observers. The accords collapsed after Savimbi rejected the election results and fighting resumed, extending the civil war until 2002.
