Chad's military government signed a pledge Monday with more than 40 rebel groups and opposition figures ahead of planned national reconciliation talks, though the deal did not include the country's main rebel group.
Under the terms of the deal in Doha, those who signed have agreed to a ceasefire ahead of the Aug. 20 talks planned in the Chadian capital of N’Djamena. Chad's junta also agreed to "not take any military or police operations against the signing groups" in neighboring countries.
