Further efforts by both Libya and Qatar to improve relations between the two produced a security agreement in late 2009 to control rebel movements from Chad into Sudan. In February 2010, Déby visited Khartoum where he and al-Bashir agreed to normalize relations. The first fruit of these developments was a framework agreement between Khartoum and the main JEM rebel group, signed in N’djamena on February 20, providing for a cease-fire and for further negotiations in Doha, Qatar. Al-Bashir then released more than half of the prisoners held since the JEM attack on Omdurman. In 2010 Chad refused permission for the leader of the JEM to land in N’Djamena. By late 2010, Sudan and Chad had normalized their relations, and Déby publicly stated his opposition to a North–South division of Sudan. In March 2024, during a session of the Security Council devoted to the situation in Sudan, certain delegations expressed their concern about the closure of the border between Sudan and Chad, which prevents the entry of humanitarian aid into Darfur.

Chadian refugees in Sudan. As a result of the crisis in Darfur, the number of Sudanese refugees in Chad jumped to more than 250,000, and large numbers of Chadians took refuge in Sudan. The two governments signed a series of agreements on political cooperation and security along their border. Chadian president Idriss Déby, a Zaghawa who came from the Sudan border area, worked hard but without success to mediate an end to the dispute between the government in Khartoum and the Darfur rebel groups.

Sudanese Zaghawa and Arab militias, ostensibly so that they could protect themselves from Chadian forces. The militias, however, used the weapons against their own rivals, principally the ethnic Fur, and several hundred civilians were killed in civil strife during 1990. The government was relieved when Deby finally defeated Habré in December 1990. The new government in N'Djamena signaled its willingness for good relations with Sudan by closing down the SPLM office. Early in 1991, Bashir visited Chad for official talks with Deby on bilateral ties.

The two countries set up a joint military committee to monitor the border and in May the two presidents signed a reconciliation accord in Saudi Arabia. By the beginning of 2008, however, relations had again deteriorated, with the leader of each country accusing the other of conducting cross-border attacks. In March 2008, launching from Chad,

The RCC-NS was not prepared for a confrontation with Chad, which was already providing assistance to the SPLM, and thus tended to turn a blind eye when Chadian forces crossed into Darfur in pursuit of the rebels.

At the time of the Bashir coup in June 1989, western Darfur was being used as a battleground by troops loyal to the
