The Tripoli Agreement (also known as the Libya Accord or the Tripoli Declaration) was signed on February 8, 2006, by Chadian President Idriss Déby, Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, and Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, effectively ending the Chadian-Sudanese conflict that has devastated border towns in eastern Chad and the Darfur region of western Sudan since December 2005.
Note that "Tripoli Agreement" can also refer to a completely unrelated 1971 accord between major oil companies and members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries doing business in the Mediterranean region. The agreement, signed on 2 April 1971, raised oil prices and increased producing countries' profit shares.
