Libya, Chad, Niger sign security agreement

    ABIDJAN

    Libya, Chad and Niger on Wednesday signed an agreement on security cooperation, Libyan television reported in Tripoli.

    The aim is to ensure security and stability, improve development and open prospects of communications among the peoples of the region, the television station said.

    The border areas between Libya and its two southern neighbours have long been insecure. Chad and Liyba fought a war in the 1980s over the Aouzou strip, a band of territory located on their common border, Chadian government troops have been battling against insurgents in the north over the past six months and rebel groups also operated in the 1990s in northern Niger.
