Libya seals peace deal for Chad (BBC)
Four Chadian rebel groups have sealed a peace agreement with the government, three weeks after negotiating the preliminary deal.

Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi hosted the talks alongside the presidents of Chad and Sudan.

The insurgent groups have waged an on-off rebellion against Chadian President Idriss Deby for years.

The fighting was linked to the conflict plaguing the neighbouring Sudanese region of Darfur.

'Guaranteed'

Col Gaddafi was quoted by AP news agency as saying: "I hope this is the last stage in the peace process in Chad, and I guarantee all signatories will abide by the agreement."

So ... Gaddafi is now a peacemaker, while the POTUS is the world's unchallenged warmonger-in-chief? I guess this just shows that the Repugs are better than Dems at foreign policy the same way they're better with the economy.
