10:34 am
and then pulling back out again. 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 acord 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 how much am jerome? chad's transitional military council has signed a piece deal with opposition parties and armed groups. the agreement is the 1st step towards democratic elections and a new constitution. many factions signed the deal, but one of chance largest armed groups walked out of negotiations when its demands
10:35 am
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 very difficult talks, but what is important does a job which we got at the end of this long process. and i think that this agreement will lead us to just on the piece in china. the deal comes after 5 months of negotiation and could pay the way for 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. and the country's capital in jamaica is mental lead to the formation of a government of national unity,
10:36 am
constitutional reform and democratic elections. katara, which host of the talk says the agreement is just the beginning to we are very helpful that it will end hostilities between the different parties. it will move the policy for minute military 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. in concord in chad or fact, i think at the beginning we were a little bit sure that fuck will not side chad. one of the poorest countries in this hell has been locked in internal conflicts for decades. fighting among armed groups has forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. 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,
10:37 am
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 guests from the chatty and capital in gym. in a, 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 ya, chief senior researcher at the norwegian institute of international affairs, specializing in security issues and 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?
10:38 am
i think that in the all, we have 2 groups that were in the token door and they, we know that there was about 43 groups that find that these find that mean then we'd that is published. and in the other side we have about 8 groups that 9 that didn't sign. 7 disagreement what we would say got to being the position of the different groups. there was that final thought was that we didn't those, that fine, we have some major audible groups like with our laid by the need. we also have the movement led by the general my movie that we didn't the biggest group that science. but in the old site, we have still the fact that the football court that didn't sign the women and it's something that is,
10:39 am
was not because we recall that the last pricing in which the president did the what the, what was going on. it's very movement. the national and that is mean that the fact is one of the main, ah military, no groups that are opposing to dr. rashid, so billy at we have the deed, but as flat as one of the major is not part of this bill. we don't have is kind of gyla was our piece of women that have been inspected from the big enrica, you heard romaji there, talk about the fact that not all rebel groups and factions assigned this accord. and, and one of the big worries is the fact that the front for change and concord and chad, a 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
10:40 am
that other groups have not signed on to this, or how worrying is that. while it creates a lot of research on it. and how about if you turn out not only of 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 transition, 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 and include the national dialogue that the supposed to start next week in diana. so the fact that one of the major on the group has not find these believe in our agreement and will be not part that would be not included in the national dallas in the country is the ready creates the data conditioner for negotiation on one side that might
10:41 am
also, we cannot say agreement that has been already signed the order put a return today to the rebellion and photos that are 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 really nice on 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, that was fine. 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,
10:42 am
the chairman chair that i received a could continue to split over into other countries where from groups i'm thinking, you know, stuff for as well. another places where a crate, a hospice for these groups to the hide, but also to pay political monday in 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 contributions 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, if you have the 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 go, if there isn't a meaningful process,
10:43 am
that it's from a 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? 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 i don't have to talk to this matter, but typically it takes great koran nature basin and other groups who cross tribal, the areas or the regional areas. 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 having to was being as fluff calling, but also being equipped and rapidly being able to deal with that child. and so to
10:44 am
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 seeing this defense. 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 the full front of dealing with this, but this again, if you have the committee in internally, which has always been there to say that. but if it continues, it could mean that true. so the price i'm wondering, you know, about to deal with that. and that long term 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
10:45 am
scheduled to start this month? well, it's likely to be delayed. again, i think because even though the community to dialogue out work on the preparation since the beginning of the day, isn't that? well, actually, sir, 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. the difference the contents of the notes have all been in the country. so at some point, some of but most of the see the society organization and the political position where i'm 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 around attribution of
10:46 am
the water off the market, the vision of the different political actors in the national data, the busy stuff making the context and the situation more balance. and i'm agreement, the other been founder yet the, the political position estimate, the suicide, estimated that the out of the 1400 seats in the national delegate, 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 space of them, a group or the of the discussion in the indoor is something much more entrenched to the inclusive in the country. and so this is something that should be thought out before the beginning. i mean, some likely that would 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
10:47 am
a statement that their rejection of the agreement followed the failure to take our demands into consideration. what kind of demands 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 faith 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. sion is something i've been talking about. there was also the necessity for the people that actually leading to proposition 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
10:48 am
from, from a leading party or from the transition not allow me to publish no counseling, but there should be a lot of updates. so people come back on. so people probably should parties from students and also from other than groups. 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 date up, meaning the 20 for august, not weeks actually i. so we'd up how the government come feeling already said, so i think these are the main demand. and this is why also i be didn't then i won't be part of the rest of the posts. andrew, one of the messages coming out of the,
10:49 am
the conclusion of these talks in the how was that? even for those groups who did not participate this time out there, there was a hope or at least an offer being extended by those who did participate, that they would like to see these armed groups. 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 damage? my hope that that could happen. i think it's crucial that that offer be extended and continue to be, be extended. why? because if not, as mentioned, you didn't have a non inclusive approach, which means that you have the rubber boot. it continued to sit on the sidelines. matt isn't good for the long terms that they need to chad and also have a positive region i've mentioned before. so to me, i think that that room and that gay, which should continue to be open,
10:50 am
it should be to me to, to see, to be dialogue can be used to open up gateway. but also what is also christian is that those who are leading the mediation efforts me to make sure that those who have signed the agreement to date meet the, asked the questions and the principles of agreement. because it's not what you don't have a situation where these groups who have signed and up rebellion and then joining the goods who haven't signed and then you have this set of fragmentation. config remaining, and long term, as i spoken about in other cases, like cigars and stuff isn't good because then you con, confirm that the gains and the teeth that you want to as all enrica, the transitional military council 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
10:51 am
organize elections? i will say that there is already a general consensus, a 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 fat and credible election. not that he's on entire machines to be put in place, starting from the sounds to then the electra commissioner, etc. that does not been approached yet the all to be cool is one of the object people, the national data again, is to revise the transitional constitution this on visual charter and to set the upcoming election or cheaply a vote effect. if the man middle of transition on media counselor can run for in their upcoming lecture on and off. so they're very busy. can also the games that
10:52 am
are not in place over the game as not in place yet. and the preparation sockets and they, they check the government is still looking for a founding for what could bring the national founding to support his election. but we have fox from that romaji. from your perspective, what do you think is the earliest we could possibly see elections happening? said actually the to live up in sit on monday the election to clean sea month. but actually we got dies, just popping low. we have got it. and so we did 2022, and the earliest stuff that you are going to in this country, it might be around 2023. but again, i let us because of the fact that evan, for the discussions and why do i have been left people 5 months?
10:53 am
meaning that, that no wait, some can predict exactly what can 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's me, me to treat the more mystic i did a consent for beside connections 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 this country with missing
10:54 am
a lot of this is a lot of agreement between the groups that at the end of the day to become. so i think that we'd be able to show that we are actually in charge at the about by the vision is 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 finished a chat bit, it makes it turns out, was towed 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 difficult that tool to achieve a 1st because the 1st of all because they're not all the fact is we just mention i
10:55 am
will be present the national data. so some much needed that are pretty carla. actor will not be part of the dialogue, at least these dialogue even the we'll get there may be like a negotiation better also because there is no agreement on which kind of situation . i don't one tool, 112 building day, pretty mean of the consultation outside of the capitol, domina among the the port out in the neighbor. countries that have been done in the field there november last year. there were very discussion about the shape of the data, the duration that you need to state. so all these issues will be on the table for the 1st time. i turn in the recency story of the concrete and there will be a part of the debate beside the old, a show that we already mentioned about the g, b of the member of the audition, government,
10:56 am
etc. so if the properly donna is really into the representative, the national data, we can work hard to frame the constitution in that way that is accepted by the parties that the represented and enrica, we only have a couple of minutes left. but how involved has the international community been in reaching this new accord and, and how different is that from other records in the past? while linda and i have community has been facilitating their negotiation. and in the i, along with the 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. so i think mainly to the declination of discharge chartered effect of the united states in july i called the edition i
10:57 am
government to change the charter and and do not prime for what election after the end of the, of the data. so they've been pressured in many different ways and governmental, 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 that is this usually will not be perceived as unilateral, because these is one of the, one of the concern one of the main concern of the order seem bogged that the government has now imposing our decisions. so we have a compact to format agreements, and for that we have an opportunity to to move towards something that is much more inclusive, our energy to make that to feel we've seen the coming weeks or months if there is
10:58 am
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 guest ramadi. romaji why not the and rica, pico and andrew yochi. thank you 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 during the conversation on twitter, our handle is at a j inside story for him. how much i'm german, the whole team here, bye for now. ah ah diets define who we are. but who are we? if we don't know what we're eating in a disturbing investigation into globalized food fraud, people and power reveals long hidden scandalous practices. the def, infiltrated international wholesale markets and supermarket chains and asks,
