The fighting between UNITA (National Union for the Total Independence of Angola) and the Angolan government officially ended with the signing of a peace agreement in 2002, following decades of civil war. This agreement was facilitated by international mediation and marked the end of a protracted conflict that had begun in 1975. The peace deal led to the disarmament of UNITA and its transformation into a political party, paving the way for national reconciliation and elections in Angola. Subsequently, the country has worked towards rebuilding and stabilizing after years of violence.
