2005

Intermediate Implementation

The United Nations Mission in Cote d’Ivoire (UNOCI) observed clashes in February between the Forces nouvelles and a pro-government militia, as well as violations of the “zone of confidence” between the government controlled north and rebel south throughout the spring.^[1] In April, the parties signed the Pretoria Agreement, declaring the final cessation of all hostility. The status of the ceasefire improved following the Pretoria Agreement. UNOCI reported no violations of the ceasefire or major violations of the zone of confidence between March and June.^[2]
