The causes of this uprising were: government corruption and mismanagement that led to decades of extreme poverty, inequalities surrounding the diamond industry in Sierra Leone which highly favored the ruling class and easy access to soldiers in the form of Liberian refugees from the <a href="/wiki/First_Liberian_Civil_War" title="First Liberian Civil War">First Liberian Civil War</a> who were often coerced into joining the RUF.<sup id="cite_ref-e-ir_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-e-ir-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Army_of_Sierra_Leone" class="mw-redirect" title="Army of Sierra Leone">Sierra Leone's army</a>, with the support of the <a href="/wiki/Ecomog" class="mw-redirect" title="Ecomog">Military Observer Group (ECOMOG)</a> of the <a href="/wiki/ECOWAS" title="ECOWAS">Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)</a>, tried at first to defend the government but, in April 1992 a military <i><a href="/wiki/Coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="Coup d'état">coup d'état</a></i> by the National Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) overthrew the government. Despite this successful coup, the RUF continued its attacks. </p><p>In November 1994, the Head of State of Sierra Leone addressed a letter to the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Secretary-General" class="mw-redirect" title="United Nations Secretary-General">United Nations Secretary-General</a>, formally requesting his aid in facilitating negotiations between the Government and the RUF. In December 1994, the Secretary-General sent an exploratory mission to Sierra Leone to examine the situation. Based on the findings of the mission, the Secretary-General, appointed a Special Envoy to Sierra Leone in February 1995.<sup id="cite_ref-un2_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-un2-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This Special Envoy worked with <a href="/wiki/Organisation_of_African_Unity" title="Organisation of African Unity">Organization of African Unity (OAU)</a> and ECOWAS to try to negotiate a settlement to the conflict and return the country to civilian rule. </p><p>As a result of these negotiations, parliamentary and presidential elections were held in February 1996, with <a href="/wiki/Ahmad_Tejan_Kabbah" title="Ahmad Tejan Kabbah">Ahmad Tejan Kabbah</a> being elected president. The RUF, however, did not participate in the elections and would not recognize the results. The conflict continued. A peace agreement between the Government and RUF was finally reached in November 1996 with the <a href="/wiki/Abidjan_Peace_Accord" title="Abidjan Peace Accord">Abidjan Peace Accord</a>. However, the agreement was derailed by another military <i>coup d'état</i> in May 1997. The military, in concert with the RUF, formed a ruling <a href="/wiki/Junta_(governing_body)" title="Junta (governing body)">junta</a>. </p><p>In response to the second coup, the Secretary-General appointed a new Special Envoy and the Security Council passed <a href="/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_Resolution_1132" title="United Nations Security Council Resolution 1132">Resolution 1132</a> in October 1997, imposing an oil and arms embargo, as well as authorizing ECOWAS to ensure its implementation. In October 1997, ECOWAS and a delegation representing the chairman of the junta held talks and signed a peace plan which, among other things, called for a ceasefire to be monitored by ECOMOG and United Nations military observers, pending approval from the Security Council. However, the junta subsequently criticized key provisions and raised a number of issues, which meant the agreement was never implemented. </p><p>In February 1998, ECOMOG launched a military attack that led to the collapse of the junta and its expulsion from Freetown. In March 1998, President Kabbah was returned to office. In July 1998 the United Nations Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (UNOMSIL) was created by the Security Council to help facilitate peace. Despite the presence of <a href="/wiki/UN_peacekeepers" class="mw-redirect" title="UN peacekeepers">UN Peacekeepers</a> under the protection of ECOMOG troops, fighting continued with the rebel alliance gaining control of more than half the country. </p><p>In December 1998 the alliance began an offensive to retake Freetown, and in January 1999 overran most of the city. This led to the evacuation of UNOMSIL, with its size being downgraded. ECOMOG eventually troops retook Freetown and installed a civilian government. After these exchanges, the Special Envoy of UNOMSIL initiated a series of diplomatic efforts aimed at opening up dialogue with the rebels. </p><p>Finally, in July 1999, negotiations between the Government and the rebels in <a href="/wiki/Lom%C3%A9_Peace_Accord" class="mw-redirect" title="Lomé Peace Accord">Lomé</a> finished and all parties agreed to end hostilities and form a government of national unity. The agreement included commitments to end hostilities, reestablish the Commission for the Consolidation of Peace, provide for demobilization and disarmament, and aid in the reintegration of combatants into civil society. It also granted amnesty to all rebel combatants and allowed for the RUF to become a political party. To achieve these goals, it called for the <a href="/wiki/UNAMSIL" class="mw-redirect" title="UNAMSIL">UN Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL)</a> and ECOMOG to form a neutral peacekeeping force. The creation of UNAMSIL meant that UNOMSIL would be terminated. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Contributions">Contributions</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
