Editing Foreign relations of Chad (section)

===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>
