Troops from Zimbabwe , Angola , Namibia , Chad , and Sudan intervened to support the Kinshasa regime. A cease-fire was signed on 10 July 1999 , but sporadic fighting continued. Kabila was assassinated in January 2001 and his son Joseph Kabila was named head of state. The new president quickly began overtures to end the war.
