Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Acordo de Kano" in Portuguese language version.
The Kano accord, however, may be Chad's last chance to survive as a nation. It establishes a cease-fire, a demilitarized zone around the capital to be patrolled by a Nigerian peacekeeping force, and the framework for a transitional government that will include the three warring factions. As part of the attempt to find "an African solution" to the conflict, France announced Tuesday that it was withdrawing all its 2,500 troops from the former colony. Dozens of French soldiers died in Chad between 1968 and 1971 in support of the Chadian government, then run by a despot named Ngarta Tombalbaye.
