Territorial Disputes: Since 2003, ad hoc armed militia groups
and the Sudanese military have driven hundreds of
thousands of Darfur residents into Chad; Chad wishes to
be a helpful mediator in resolving the Darfur conflict,
and in 2010 established a joint border monitoring force
with Sudan, which has helped to reduce cross-border
banditry and violence; only Nigeria and Cameroon have
heeded the Lake Chad Commission's admonition to ratify
the delimitation treaty, which also includes the
Chad-Niger and Niger-Nigeria boundaries.
