Sudan and Chad sign security agreement

    NAIROBI
    Sudan and neighbouring Chad on Tuesday reached a cooperation agreement in the areas of security, specifically against banditry, on refugees and on border demarcation. The agreement provides for reactivating joint border committees which will hold monthly meetings to address security problems and also try to curb smuggling and armed banditry, the Sudanese news agency (SUNA) reported. The agreement stipulates that a joint technical committee be formed to meet Sudanese and Chadian refugees in Al-Ginaina [Sudan] and Adre [Chad] respectively. The aim is to encourage the refugees to return home. The two countries also agreed to carry out demarcation of the boundaries before the beginning of the new year.
