The Security Council welcomed the Abuja Agreement signed on 19 August 1995 which supplemented the prior Cotonou and Akosombo agreements and provided the basis for further actions by the Council.[2] There was also a new State Council, a ceasefire in place, the beginning of the disengagement of forces and a timetable for the implementation of various aspects of the agreement. It was noted that, with the signing of the Abuja Accord, that additional troops from the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) and further equipment and logistic support would also be required to ensure its deployment throughout the entire country.
