US embassy cable - 04DJIBOUTI386

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.

REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D). 
 
 1. (C) Ambassador delivered reftel demarche March 15 to 
Minister of Cooperation, Mohamoud Youssef Ali, in Djibouti's 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  Ali responded that Djibouti 
would like to see an elected government take charge in Iraq 
and peace restored.  In that regard, it is important that 
coalition forces hand over power to a democratically-elected 
government soonest. 
 
2. (C) Ali also stated that the upcoming Arab League Summit 
in Tunis was unlikely to take a position that might be 
interpreted as "imbalanced" on this issue.  He noted other 
positive steps the League has taken on Iraq, including 
condemnation of the terrorist attacks on Shiites in Kerbala 
and other resolutions.
