US State Department commends Chadian parties' signing of the Peace Agreement in Doha, and welcomes this step toward reconciliation in Chad.
"We commend the signing of the Peace Agreement in Doha and welcome this step toward reconciliation in Chad. We acknowledge the role of the Government of Qatar, the Chadian transitional government, and political-military voices in this process, and encourage all Chadian groups to join in ensuring peace, prosperity, and stability," State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement Tuesday.
"This peace agreement is a significant development in Chad's transitional period. The United States stands with Chad as it coordinates a National Dialogue, revises its constitution, and organizes free and fair elections of a civilian-led government that are held on time and reflect the will of the people," the statement said.
"We share optimism for a bright future, one that respects the dignity of all Chadians, and enables prosperity for generations to come," the State Department Spokesperson added.
Chadian parties signed on Monday the Doha Peace Agreement and the Participation of Politico-Military Movements in the Chadian National, Inclusive, and Sovereign Dialogue, under the auspices of the State of Qatar, as a culmination of the negotiations the State hosted during the past five months with regional and international participation.
