Aware that an end to the internal conflict leads to peace and national reconciliation in the Republic of Angola and constitutes a challenge that, in some way, the parties commit themselves to overcome and to succeed for the benefit of the Angolan people;
Accordingly, in order to materialize their promises and obligations in the context of the Lusaka Protocol, the parties have decide to adopt the Memorandum of Understanding in the following terms:
