 Chad and Sudan have signed a peace deal aimed at ending their dispute at the end of a mini-summit in Tripoli hosted by Libyan leader Muammar al-Qadhafi. The agreement, signed on Wednesday, by Omar al-Beshir, the Sudanese president and his Chadian counterpart Idriss Deby, provides for the re-establishment of relations and the opening of consulates. It calls for a ban on the use of the territory of either for hostile activity directed against the other and on accepting rebels from the other. It also envisages "the creation of a peace force" between the two countries and the establishment of "an African ministerial committee presided over by Libya to oversee the application of the ageeement, and the end of hostile press campaigns and of support to armed groups of the two countries". |
