Will Chad’s latest peace agreement hold? | Inside Story

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Will Chad’s latest peace agreement hold? | Inside Story” – below is their description.

Chad’s Transitional Military Council has signed a peace deal aimed at ending decades of conflict.

The agreement is the first step towards democratic elections and a new constitution.

Many political factions signed the deal, but Chad’s largest armed group walked out of negotiations when its demands were not met.

Now, the question is whether the much-anticipated national dialogue will go ahead on August 20.

So, how far off is stability and democracy in the Central African nation?

Presenter: Mohammed Jamjoum

Guests:

Remadji Hoinathy, senior researcher at the Institute for Security Studies

Enrica Picco, director of the Central Africa Project at International Crisis Group

Andrew Yaw Tchie, senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs
