In January 1991, the government of Mali met with two of the main rebel groups in Tamanrasset to negotiate a cease-fire. The FPLA, however, opposed the [[Tamanrasset Accords]] and continued their attacks. On March 26, 1991, the government of Mali was overthrown in a military coup and a multi-party democracy was established. In December 1991, FPLA joined the [[United Movements and Fronts of Azawad]] (MFUA), which unitedly signed the National Pact peace treaty. Further agreements between the rebel groups and the government were signed in 1992 and 1995, effectively ending the rebellion.<ref name="caritas"/>
