a deal aimed at ending decades of turmoil in chad. the transitional government and opposition have signed a peace agreement. but with one of the biggest rebel group refusing to take part will this accord hold? and if it does, how far off is democracy in the central african nation? this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the program. i'm homage m jerome chads transitional military council has signed a piece deal with opposition, parties and arm groups. the agreement is the 1st step towards democratic elections and a new constitution may faction signed the deal. but one of chance largest armed groups walked out of negotiations when its demands weren't met. now the question is

whether the much anticipated national dialogue will go ahead on august the 20th gillian wolf has our story. more than 40 opposition groups signed a long awaited peace deal on monday, giving them and the transitional military council calls for hope. it was a voted thought and difficulty talks. but what is some quote on the resolved which we got at the end of this long process. and i think that this agreement will lead us to assist hon. peace in china. the deal comes after 5 months of negotiations and could pay the way for a return to civilian rule a ceasefire. general amnesty and a national dialogue will be the 1st articles to be implemented the dialogue due to be held later this month in the country's capital in jemina is meant to lead to the formation of a government of national unity,

constitutional reforms and democratic elections. katara which hosted the talks, says the agreement is just the beginning to we are very helpful that it will end hostilities between the different bodies. it will move the process for a minute and meditate forces to a political level assistant will allow for an easy transition towards the negotiations in charge itself. a noticeable absence from the signing and doha, was the main rebel group, the from for change and concord in chad. or fact, i think at the beginning, oh we were ah, a little bit sure that you're the fuck to will not sign chad. one of the poorest countries in this a hell has been locked in internal conflict for decades. fighting among armed groups has force hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. chuck, when mohammed debbie replaced his late father as president last year, he promised political reform mama and lost the peace talks that led to the doe her accord. over the years, dozens of peace agreements have failed. but many hearsay,

that after 60 years of conflict, champions are tired of war and ready for peace for inside story, gillian wolf. the. all right, let's go ahead and bring in our guess from the chevy and capital in germany. we have romaji. why not be a senior researcher at the institute for security studies in barcelona? is enrica pico director of the central africa project at international crisis group . and in oslo is andrew yochi, senior researcher at the norwegian institute of international affairs, specializing in security issues in africa. a warm welcome to you all, and thanks so much for joining us today on inside story romaji, let me start with you today. how many groups and factions ultimately signed this agreement? how many didn't sign or participate? and do you believe that this agreement can lead to a sustainable piece in chat?

i think that in all we have 50 groups that were in the token. ringback door and they, we know that there was about 43 groups that find that the find that we, that is published. and in the other side we had about 8 group that 9 that didn't sign. 7 disagreement what we would say they got to be the opposition of the different groups. there was that final thought was that 5. 7 we didn't those that fine, we have some major groups like with our laid by yeah. at the need. we also have the movement led by the general amount that we didn't the biggest group that science. but in the old site, we have still the fact that the court didn't sign the agreement and it is something that is,

was not because we recall that the last type, things in which the president did the what the, what was going on. it's very movement. who the national are, and that is mean that the fact is one of the main, ah, military, no groups that are opposed to dr issued. so billy, at, we have a deed, but as flat as one of the major is not part of this bill. we don't have these kind of gyla was our piece. we went to be nice that it's from the big enrica, you heard romaji there. talk about the fact that not all rebel groups and factions are assigned this accord. and, and one of the big worries is the fact that the front for change and concord and shad group that is known as fact that's the main rebel group that they refused to sign this accord despite last minute efforts by others mediators. and the fact that

they haven't signed the fact that other groups have not signed on to this, or how worrying is that. while it creates a lot of control, kennedy, how about if you turn out not only offer the transitional process, but about the over all the piece in the country? we do have, we always have to remember that this piece dealer has to be framed in a much broader framework, which is that one of the fancy from the gathering indoor and the agreement that was to be, was supposed to be only the 1st step to bring a rebel groups on to the national le ending could be the national dialogue that the supposed to start the next week in diana. so the fact that one of the major group, i've not find these, but i mean are agreements and will be not part that would be not included in the national dallas in the country is really a, creates the data conditioner for both of negotiation on one side that might

also, we cannot the agreement that has been already signed or put a return to the end to the rebellion and photos that a fancy or a fax and we are in the foster only last year. so it's still too early to say, what are the next steps, but it sure that something is a really nice international data that is going to start next week. andrew, i saw you nodding along to some of what in rico was saying. so i'm going to let you jump in, but i also want to ask you from your perspective, if, if a lasting piece is not achieved with this acord, how is that going to impact other countries in the region other countries in central africa? well, i think for me the, the key challenge here is that even if you did have an agreement that was mentioned, it would find you would still need to be able to implement that agreement practice . and that tends to be a challenge with my kids, but it's not region me. the chairman chair that i received

a could continue to split over into other countries where groups have taken, you know, stuff for as well. in other places where a crate, sort of a hospice for these groups to, to hide, but also to pay political monday between different states. so, so on the largest scale, what it could do is click this continue to be, you know, instability. but also, i'm thinking why the picture is really about child contribution to africans can be seen a rise of child of the last decade. particularly in those larger african missions. i'm thinking, you know, the monte national joint possible and then type base in the g 5. how even the un mission and so you may see having security at home eventually at some point these shoots could be sent back to do of the insecurity amongst the groups that haven't find. and so the why the challenge, i think concerns to me. but if this is so,

if there isn't a meaningful process that is from in place to try and bring some of these groups that i said, 9 courses at, you know, we don't, we departed agreement. then what happens if they are not done? and so that is the space that what we need to be looking at as well, a long time. yeah. and andrew's, you know, since you brought this up, i mean, when it comes to efforts in combating armed groups fighting in the region, how significant a role does, does chad play in those efforts? well, i think less so if i'm good. so most of it with paris and those on the talk to this matter. but typically it takes great koran nature, basin and member groups who cross tribal, the areas or the region image. that is a challenge. but also child has been, i would say, by the forefront of trying to deal with, with that challenge, particularly because of the space among the space of that region. a we've been eckworth, i mean was being as fluff calling, but also being equipped and rapidly being able to deal with that child. and so to

me, i think that is a concern if long term forces are been brought back home to deal with challenge, then what happens to discuss, we're already seen. it's a difference of how where for example, money money is put out from there. there's a gap that needs to be filled again, child has been on the previous leadership as me, not a full front of dealing with this, but this again, if you have the committee in when connelly which has always been there to say that . but if it continues, it could mean that truth detroit from wondering if you'd have to deal with that. and that long time isn't good for the region. enrica you mentioned a moment ago that disagreement is supposed to pave the way for a national dialogue, which is supposed to begin and in german or later this month. do you believe that that timeline will actually be met, that this broader national reconciliation dialogue can actually start as it is

scheduled to start this month? well, it's likely to be delayed. again, i think because even though they called me to dialogue out words on the preparation since the beginning of the day, isn't that well actually on the theater because it was originally scheduled for january that delayed till may and then rescheduled on the 24th with the even though, like the preparation has been already long different, the contents of the notes have all been in the country. so it's important to some of but most of the see the society organization and the political position where willing to participate in line to the data get. but then after the events in may. yeah, the rest of the leader of them are one of the main opposition coalition in the country. and also the discussion that around after about the quarter

of the population of the different political actors in the national data, the busy making the context and the situation more balance. and i'm agreement and being founder yet to the political position estimate the suicide. estimated that the out of the 1400 seats in the national dialogue, 1200, will be approved by people cross to the government. so a question about that ending because the beginning of the dialogue got you on the table since a few weeks. and this is not the only about the submission of them, a group or the of the discussion in the indoor is something much more entrenched to the inclusive in the country. and this is based on that. so this is something that should be thought out to be for the beginning. i mean, some likely that will be done not in only one week. romaji the front for change in concord in chad, that's the main rebel group. they said in

a statement that their rejection of the agreement followed the failure to take our demands into consideration. what kind of demand are they? are they talking about? was this simply about prisoners that they were demanding to be released? or was there more play here? oh, boy, i actually state the face of the 5 of the humans, they ha, but they were also having demons regarding this chart to mean the way, how are you you bought the most of the power in the bought the to the present is something i've been talking about there was also the necessity for the people that actually living probably should not to be candidate the coming election. something also that they are. they also requested to kind of part of jerome's participants in that title. meaning, there shouldn't be more people that across all from, from

a leading party or from the transition not allow me to provision of counsel. but there should be a lot of updates. so people come back on. so people from dish and parties from students, society and also from martin and the last thing that they are also the wedding. and that is something that we tend to be best actually is there is settlement on the well one for me in charge of organizing the data. if we consider that a data, meaning the 20 for august not weeks actually are. so we'd up how the government come to the north. so i think these are the main demands. and this is why also i be didn't then i won't be of the rest of the pos andrew. i'm one of the messages coming out of the the conclusion of these talks are

indoor how was that? even for those groups who did not participate this time out there, there is a hope or at least an offer being extended by those who did participate in that they would like to see these armed groups. are these rebel groups, these opposition figures participate at some point going forward. perhaps when this national reconciliation dialogue finally kicks off. do you think that, you know, is likely to happen? will more groups enter into this dialogue? at some point, a dell is my hope that that could happen. i think it's crucial that that are offered be extended and continue to be extended. why? because if not, right? as levels of mentioned, you don't have a non inclusive approach, which means that you have the trouble going. you continue to sit on the sidelines, man isn't good. so it's sort of been long term stability of child and also other parts of the region. as i've mentioned before, so to me i think that that room and k which should continue to be left open. it

shouldn't need to to, to, to be dialogic can be used token that gateway a. but also what is also crucial is that those who are leading the nation, that's where it's need to make sure that those who have signed the agreements are to date, meet stipulations, and the protocols of my agreement because it's not what you don't have a situation where these groups are who have signed up rebellion and then joining the group you haven't signed. and then you have this service fragmentation of the agreement itself. and that long term, as i've spoken about in other cases, like in saigon and in south on isn't good because then you can call. so the gains and the piece that you want to, as all enrica, the transitional military council. i had said that it would oversee an 18 month transition to democratic rule and that elections would eventually be held. have there been signs indicating that they are actually going about trying to

organize elections? i will say that there is already a general consensus. i'm more or less explicit about the fact that the transition will be extended to the end of the 18 months will be under the beginning of october . and it's impossible that by that data, the national dialogue, both the national data and election, would be organized and to organize credible la sat incredible election. not that he's on entire machines would be put in place, starting from the sounds to then the electra commissioner, etc. that has not been approached yet or could be cool is one of the object people, the national data again, is to revise the transitional constitution this sunday shot charter. and to said that we're coming election or cheaply a vote effect. if the man middle of transition on media counselor can run for in their upcoming lecture or not. so they're very busy can also the games that are not

in place over the game as not in place yet. and the preparation docket. and they, they tug on governmental is still looking for a founding for with the national founding to support his election. but we have thought from that romaji from your perspective, what do you think is the earliest we could possibly see elections happening? erica said, actually the to about been sit on this on monday, the election to see month actually we got dies, just popping low. we have got action. so we do 2022. and the earliest stuff that you are going to discount might be around be 2023. but again, i let us because the fact that evelyn, for the discussions bill, why do i have been the last 5 months?

just meaning that, that there was no way some can predict exactly what could happen in terms of the direction. so it's meaning that the vision will be said to be expanded, but then we don't have any except to about putting in place all the mission are going to dallas and explain. but angelica, so i think that mid september, 23 is the more mystic i did a i consent or decide selection and romaji, if i could also just ask you, i want to take a step back for a 2nd. is there hope in chad right now among ordinary citizens, that this accord could either stop or at least significantly reduce any of the fighting? i think that was published, processed in the country, but it also, i think about the fact that the people in the sense i've been with missing

a lot of this is a lot of agreement between the groups that at the end of the day to come to so i think that we'd be able to show that we are actually in chat about by the way, it's kind of fading away because we have, we don't have the most important groups. i sit for a lot. i think that actually the phoenix day and chat bit it makes it shows up. all i was told him back is not organ enrica. a moment ago. you mentioned how one of the steps that, that is believe that will be taken soon. or at least the plan is for it to be taken soon as that a new constitution should be drafted. how difficult will that be to accomplish? well, it would be quite that if people expect to on poor chiva 1st,

because 1st of all, because they're not told it is as we just mention, i will be representing national data again. so some of the key neither political actor will not be part of the dialogue, at least these dialogue even the we'll get there might be like a negotiation better also because there is no agreement on which kind of close to, to shut down one tool, 112 booting day pretty mean the consultation kind of the capital domina among the port are in the neighbor. countries that have been done in the field november last year that were very discussion about the shape of the data duration that you need to state. so all these issues will be on the table for the 1st time. i turn in the research, the story of the concrete. and there will be a part of the debate beside the all the show that we already mentioned about the g, b of the member of the government, the etc. so you've been properly, donna,

is really into the represent that you know, that we, we can work harder to frame the constitution in a way that is accepted by the part is represented. and enrica, we only have a couple of minutes left. but how involved has the international community been in reaching this new, a court and, and how different is that from other records in the past? linda and i have community has been facilitating their negotiation in, in the i, along with kentucky government. there's been a mediator from, from, from, from the us, from the african union, the indoor supporting the negotiation. but there was also been pressure from the international community to work with a member of the transitional government, i think mainly to the declination of discharge chartered effect of the united

states in july. you called the government to change the charter and and do not press 4 for election after the end of the, of the data. so there's been pressure in many different ways and the government, i would say that these now in now us to find a kind of balance between the pressure to and the dish or not. and also, the fact that is this, you know, will not be perceived as unilateral, because these is one of the, one of the concern of the, one of the make one of the older seem bogged that countries on government now imposing our decisions. so we have a compact to format agreements and perform a dialogue. we have an opportunity to move towards something that is much more inclusive, our energy to make that to feel we've seen the coming weeks or months, or if there is a real willing to do so. all right, well we have run out of time,

so we're going to have to leave our conversation there today. thanks so much. all of our guests ramadi, romaji, we nazi and rica, pico and andrew yochi. and thank you to for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com, and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also do the conversation on twitter. our handle is at a inside story for him. how much i'm german, the whole team here, bye for now. the ah.
