| Notes | 31 Dec 2007 AMIS replace by UNMIS [ Retrieved on 14 FEB 2008 ] The catalyst for the formation of the African (Union) Mission in the Sudan (AMIS) was the signing of the N’djamena Humanitarian Ceasefire Agreement on April 8 2004 by the Government of Sudan (GoS) and the two rebel movements the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A) and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). However, it was the Addis Ababa Agreement of 28 May 2004 that paved the way for the African Union to play a specific role in Darfur. Key to this was the formation of the Ceasefire Monitoring Commission (CFC), and the decision to deploy military observers and a small protection force to support it. By the beginning of June the first contingents of AMIS arrived in the region and by October what became known as AMIS I comprised 465 personnel from 10 African countries. These were joined by others from the EU and the US as well as those from the actual parties to the conflict. [ Retrieved on 13-02-08 01-06-07 - http://www.amis-;sudan.org/ ] |
