Tripoli Agreement


The Tripoli Agreement (also known as the Libya Accord or the Tripoli Declaration) was signed on February 8, 2006, by Chadian President Idriss Déby, Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, effectively ending the Chadian-Sudanese conflict that has devastated border towns in eastern Chad and the Darfur region of western Sudan since December 2005.

Note that "Tripoli Agreement" can also refer to a completely unrelated 1971 accord between major oil companies and members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries doing business in the Mediterranean region. The agreement, signed on 2 April 1971, raised oil prices and increased producing countries' profit shares.

The agreement was reached after a mini-summit in Tripoli, Libya, hosted by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Prior to the meeting, Chadian Foreign Minister Ahmad Allam-Mi, Sudanese Foreign Minister Lam Akol, and Libyan Foreign Minister Abdel Rahman Shalgham, attended a two-day preparatory meeting aimed at reducing the scope of the disagreement before the heads of state met to iron out the details.

Current Chairperson of the African Union and President of Congo Denis Sassou-Nguesso, Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, Central African Republic President François Bozizé,African Union Chairperson of the Commission Alpha Oumar Konaré, and Burkinabé President Blaise Compaoré, the current chair of the Community of the Sahelo-Saharan States, also attended the summit.
