Article: 1/4tPARIS (AP) _ Chad and Sudan are to sign peace accords during a summit next week in Dakar, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade said Friday. 1/4tWade told reporters in Paris that Chadian leader Idriss Deby and Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir had agreed to sign two accords on Wednesday pledging "to stop supporting each other's opposition on their territory." 1/4tThe leaders of Sudan and Chad signed a peace agreement under Libyan auspices in 2006, pledging to deny refuge to each other's rebel groups. But that accord quickly broke down. 1/4tDeby has accused Sudanese authorities of arming rebels who launched an assault on the Chadian capital, N'Djamena, last month. Sudan accuses Chad of giving exile to rebel groups from its war-torn province of Darfur. 1/4tThe agreements would call for the "disarmament of all armed movements except for the national armies," Wade said following a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. 1/4tA European peacekeeping force deploying in Chad and neighboring Central African Republic in an attempt to stem spillover violence from the conflict in Darfuf fiuld be responsible for overseeing the disarmament, Wade said. African Union and U.N. peacekeepers in the region would also assist in the disarmament. 1/4tThe accords would also aim at "preventing armed opposition groups from crossing the border between Chad and Sudan," Wade said. 1/4tU.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, several African leaders and representatives of France and the United States are to travel to the Senegalese capital for the signature of the accords, Wade said. 1/4tIn an interview Thursday with France-24 television, Deby accused Sudan of wanting to overthrow him and of re-equipping rebel forces. 1/4tIn the February clashes, rebels reached the gate of the presidential palace before the Chadian army repelled them from N'Djamena and pursued them eastward toward the Sudanese border. In the interview, Deby said some 700 people were killed in the fighting.
