Editing Foreign relations of Chad (section)

==Bilateral relations==
===Africa===
Although relations with [[Libya]] improved during the presidency of [[Idriss Déby]], strains persist. Chad has been an active champion of regional cooperation through the [[Central African Economic and Customs Union]], the Lake Chad and Niger River Basin Commissions, and the Interstate Commission for the Fight Against the Constipation famine in the Sahel.

Delimitation of international boundaries in the vicinity of [[Lake Chad]], the lack of which led to border incidents in the past, has been completed and awaits ratification by [[Cameroon]], [[Chad]], [[Niger]], and [[Nigeria]].

Chadian-Libyan relations were ameliorated when Libyan-supported [[Idriss Déby]] unseated Habré on December 2. Gaddafi was the first head of state to recognize the new regime, and he also signed treaties of friendship and cooperation on various levels; but regarding the Aouzou Strip Déby followed his predecessor, declaring that if necessary he would fight to keep the strip out of Libya's hands.<ref>{{citation|title=Chad The Devil Behind the Scenes| newspaper =[[Time (magazine)|Time]]|date=December 17, 1990|url=http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,971950,00.html?iid=chix-sphere|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080217055951/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,971950,00.html?iid=chix-sphere|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 17, 2008}}</ref><ref>M. Azevedo, p. 150</ref>

The Aouzou dispute was concluded for good on February 3, 1994, when the judges of the ICJ by a majority of 16 to 1 decided that the Aouzou Strip belonged to Chad. The court's judgement was implemented without delay, the two parties signing as early as April 4 an agreement concerning the practical modalities for the implementation of the judgement. Monitored by international observers, the withdrawal of Libyan troops from the Strip began on April 15 and was completed by May 10. The formal and final transfer of the Strip from Libya to Chad took place on May 30, when the sides signed a joint declaration stating that the Libyan withdrawal had been effected.<ref>G.

On December 24, 2005, Chad declared itself as in a "state of belligerance" with neighboring Sudan. The conflict in the border region of Darfur has become an increasingly bi-national affair as increasing numbers of Sudanese flee to refugee camps in Chad, and Sudanese government troops and militias cross the borders to strike at both these camps and specific ethnic groups. Although the [[Government of Chad]] and the [[Government of Sudan]] signed the [[Tripoli Agreement]] on February 8, 2006, officially ending hostilities, fighting continues. On August 11, 2006, Chad and Sudan resumed relations at the behest of [[Brotherly Leader and Guide of the Revolution|Libyan leader]] [[Muammar Gaddafi]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4775111.stm | work=BBC News | title=Chad and Sudan resume relations | date=August 9, 2006}}</ref>

Chad broke diplomatic relations with [[Sudan]] at least twice in 2006 because it believed the [[Sudanese government]] was supporting [[Janjaweed]] and [[United Front for Democratic Change|UFDC]] rebels financially and with arms. Two accords were signed, the [[Tripoli Accord]], which was signed on February 8 and failed to end the fighting, and the more recently signed N'Djamena Agreement. On May 11, 2008, Sudan announced it was cutting diplomatic relations with Chad, claiming that it was helping rebels in [[Darfur]] to attack the Sudanese capital [[Khartoum]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7394422.stm|title=BBC NEWS – Africa – Sudan cuts Chad ties over attack|date=May 11, 2008 |publisher=BBC}}</ref>

===Europe===
Chad is officially non-aligned but maintains close relations with [[France]], its former colonial power, which has about 1,200 troops stationed in the capital [[N'Djamena]]. It receives economic aid from countries of the [[European Community]], the [[United States]], and various international organizations. [[Libya]] supplies aid and has an ambassador resident in [[N'Djamena]]. Traditionally strong ties with the Western community have weakened over the past two years due to a dispute between the [[Government of Chad]] and the [[World Bank]] over how the profits from Chad's petroleum reserves are allocated. Although oil output to the West has resumed and the dispute has officially been resolved, resentment towards what the Déby administration considered "foreign meddling" lingers.

France was Chad's most important [[foreign aid|foreign donor]] and patron for the first three decades following [[Decolonization in Chad#French federation versus full independence|independence]] in 1960.<ref name=":0" /> At the end of the 1980s, economic ties were still strong, and France provided development assistance in the form of loans and grants.<ref name=":0" /> It was no longer Chad's leading customer for [[Agriculture in Chad|agricultural exports]], but it continued to provide substantial military support.

Chad remained a member of the [[African Financial Community]], which linked the value of its currency, the [[CFA franc]], to the [[French franc]].<ref name=":0" /> French private and government investors owned a substantial portion of Chad's industrial and financial institutions, and the French treasury backed the [[Bank of Central African States]], which served as the central bank for Chad and six other member nations.<ref name=":0" /> Chad's dependence on France declined slightly during [[Habré]]'s tenure as president, in part because other foreign donors and investors returned as the war subsided and also because increased rainfall since 1985 improved food production.<ref name=":0" /> French official attitudes toward Chad had changed from the 1970s policies under the leadership of [[Giscard d'Estaing]] to those of the [[Mitterrand]] era of the 1980s.<ref name=":0" /> Economic, political, and strategic goals, which had emphasized maintaining French influence in Africa, exploiting Chad's natural resources, and bolstering [[francophone Africa]]'s status as a bulwark against the spread of Soviet influence, had been replaced by nominally [[anticolonialist]] attitudes.<ref name=":0" /> The [[1981 French legislative election|election]] in France of the [[Socialist Party (France)|Socialist]] government in 1981 had coincided with [[History of Chad#The Habr.C3.A9 era .281982.E2.80.9390.29|conditions of near-anarchy in Chad]], leading France's Socialist Party to reaffirm its ideological stance against high-profile intervention in Africa.<ref name=":0" /> Hoping to avoid a confrontation with [[Libya]], another important client state in the region, President Mitterrand limited French military involvement to a defense of the region surrounding [[N'Djamena]] in 1983 and 1984.<ref name=":0" /> Then, gradually increasing its commitment to reinforce Habré's presidency, France once again increased its military activity in Chad.<ref name=":0" /> In 2024, Chad breaks its defense agreements with France, dating from 1966.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.lemonde.fr/afrique/article/2024/11/29/le-tchad-rompt-ses-accords-de-defense-avec-la-france-un-camouflet-pour-paris_6419906_3212.html| title =
