SUBJECT: MORE FROM MOZAMBIQUE ON DARFUR CEASEFIRE 
MONITORING ARRANGEMENTS 
 
REF: A. MAPUTO 542 
 
B. STATE 87240 
Classified By: Econ/Pol Chief David Hodge for reasons 1.4 (B) and (D) 
 
1. (C) Following up on their meeting earlier that day 
(reftel A) on Darfur ceasefire monitoring arrangements 
(reftel B), late in the afternoon of April 20 the Ambassador 
spoke again with Ambassador Carlos dos Santos, diplomatic 
adviser to President Chissano. Dos Santos reported that he 
had spoken with the Mozambican Ambassador in Addis Ababa, Ana 
Nemba Uaiene, who reported a somewhat different version of 
the April 19 meeting at the AU than that conveyed in the U.S. 
demarche (reftel B). Uaiene characterized the meeting as 
having been mainly focused on budget issues and that it had 
been agreed to send a military observer mission to Darfur as 
an interim measure. Ambassador Uaiene told dos Santos that 
they still had not addressed the CFC, were considering 
several proposals, and were aware of the U.S. position. 
 
2. (C) While we are not familiar with Ambassador Uaiene, we 
know she is one of Mozambique's most senior diplomats and 
believe she plays a critical role in how President Chissano 
handles AU issues. Given the differences in what she is 
reporting back to Maputo and U.S. desire to have Chissano 
weigh in on Darfur, it might be worthwhile to approach her 
directly on the CFC.
