Chad National Concord

Chad National Concord/Convention (French: Concorde nationale du Tchad or CNT) was a Chadian rebel group active during the Third Chadian Civil War. It was founded in 2004 by Hassan Saleh Al-Gaddam ‘Al-Jineidi’. Al-Gaddam was a vice-president of FUC, but in July 2006 he broke away from FUC and lead CNT into a separate rebellion against Chadian government. The CNT captured the areas of Daguessa and Tissi and managed to hold control of them for few months in 2006 and 2007. The CNT had close ties with Janjaweed. Leader of CNT, Al-Gaddam participated in Sirte talks and agreed to a ceasefire with Chadian government in October 2007. CNT rallied to Chadian government shortly after failure of Sirte agreement in December 2007. When the group rallied to the government it had 2000 members.
