Parties: Government of the Republic of Niger; Democratic Front for Renewal (Le Front Démocratique pour le Renouveau, FDR)
Type: Intra-state
The Parties agreed to promote peace and national unity by upholding the Constitution of 12 May 1996, fostering economic and social development, and respecting state institutions. They declared a ceasefire between the Defence and Security Forces of Niger and the FDR and committed to releasing all detainees.
The government pledged to address FDR’s concerns regarding administrative decentralisation and minority rights and accelerate investment in the Kawar-Manga zone. It also committed to encouraging FDR participation in public affairs by reinstating civil servants, recruiting qualified members, and facilitating education for their children.
With government support, the FDR gathered ex-combatants in Diffa for identification, disarmament, and sorting, with plans to reintegrate fighters into military, security and civilian roles. The government pledged to assist the voluntary return and reintegration of refugees, grant a general amnesty for war-related acts committed before the agreement, and support the FDR’s transition into a political party after disarmament.
