US embassy cable - 04DJIBOUTI333

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: DJIBOUTI'S RESPONSE TO 2003 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 
 
 
1. (U) In a meeting March 8th with PolOff, Secretary 
General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Badri Ali 
Bogoreh, commented on the release of the 2003 Country 
Report on Human Rights.  Bogoreh initially was highly 
defensive, calling the report severe.  He then 
commented that Djibouti still has work to do in the 
area of Human Rights.  Bogoreh described a new 
Commission on Human Rights, which is writing the first 
report on Human Rights done by the Government of 
Djibouti.  (Comment: This Committee is the result of a 
DHRF grant of $25,000 from Post in FY03.  The project 
expects to be completed in March.  Post will follow 
up on the report. End Comment.) 
 
2. (U) Bogoreh thanked the U.S. for its frankness 
in the Human Rights Report.  He also asked for 
patience and support, saying there is work to be 
done but that his government is moving in the right 
direction.
