After visiting the Sudanese capital Khartoum from 3 – 6 August, Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade said he hoped "the Dakar accord establishes a definitive peace between Chad and Sudan as well as in the region. I think that we can obtain this... If they talk to each other, no one will be able to divide them.

On 8 August, both nations announced they will immediately reopen their embassies in the two countries.
