The Guinean state forces launched a counteroffensive against the RFDG and Liberian forces on September 22. Heavy fighting lasted through March 2001. An ECOWAS meeting in April 2001 was able to prevent this conflict from escalating into a full-scale war between Guinea and Liberia, and was able to end the civil war between RFDG and the Guinean state.
