Sudan And Chad Sign Peace Agreement

The Presidents of Chad, Idriss Deby, and of Sudan, Omar Al-Bashir, signed a new peace agreement in Dakar on Thursday night, intended to put an end to years of hostilities, fed by each government accusing the other of supporting rebel forces in its territory.

The most important clause in the Thursday agreement commits both sides to ban all activities by armed groups fighting against the other country's government, and the use of their territory for acts of political and social destabilization.
