The west African country's Foreign Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat has been mediating at talks in Dakar aimed at leading the bellicose neighbours on the path of conciliation.

Chadian Foreign Minister Moussa Faki Mahamat said after the meeting of the contact group, which brings together senior officials from Chad, Sudan, Libya, Gabon, Congo Republic, Senegal and Eritrea, that a dozen observation posts would be set up on either side of the long, rugged Chad-Sudan frontier.
