SUDAN & CHAD: PEACE TREATY

Indeed all privately doubt that any of this is for real

This – “sustainable stability” in the words of the French Ministry -- was impossible in the absence of “normalisation of relations between Khartoum and Ndjamena.” Both country’s capitals are in a capital mess. The Chadian National Alliance, part of a rebel coalition that attacked Ndjamena last month, laying siege to Déby’s presidential palace for two whole days, said: “This (the deal) doesn’t concern us.”

Janjawid militias, for their part, heap all the blame on Khartoum, which it accuses of violently crushing “this most just local rebellion”. In an interview to a London TV one of its leading commanders, Mohammed Hamdan, sourced the militia’s weapons and orders to the Sudanese government. Indeed how very fragile and improbable this so-called “peace pact” became clear that same day.
