The General Peace Agreement of Rome was signed on October 4, 1992 between the opposing parties in the Mozambican Civil War and ended the war that had been raging for 15 years between the ruling party FRELIMO and the RENAMO rebels . The negotiations had started in July 1990 and were led by a team of four mediators . These were two members of the Catholic Community of Sant'Egidio , Andrea Riccardi and Matteo Zuppi , as well as Bishop Jaime Gonçalves and Mario Raffaelli as representatives of the Italian government . The FRELIMO delegation was led by Armando Guebuza (President of Mozambique , who has been in office since 2005 ), the RENAMO delegation by Raul Domingos . The agreement was signed by the then President and FRELIMO leader Joaquim Chissano and by the head of RENAMO Afonso Dhlakama .
