The United Nations Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL) was established in 1999 to help restore peace and stability in Sierra Leone after a brutal civil war. Its primary objectives included disarming combatants, supporting the government, and facilitating humanitarian assistance. The mission aimed to create a secure environment for the country’s recovery and development. UNAMSIL played a crucial role in the peace process, overseeing the disarmament of thousands of Revolutionary United Front (RUF) fighters and helping to rebuild the national army. The mission officially ended in 2005, having successfully contributed to the stabilization and democratic governance of Sierra Leone.
