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.

UNCLAS ABUJA 001005 SIPDIS SENSITIVE E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: PREL, PGOV, ASEC, EFIN, NI SUBJECT: STUDENT GROUP PLANS TO DEMONSTRATE FOR DEBT RELIEF REF: ABUJA 962 SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED. 1. (SBU) A group calling itself the International Debt Relieve (sic) Campaign Project Committee of NANS, the National Association of Nigerian Students, called the Embassy June 7 to say they were planning a demonstration June 8 at or as near the Embassy as the GON will allow. The group claims it has a GON permit, which the Nigerian police have not confirmed, and Embassy RSO told them to stay outside the Embassy's security cordon. The group says it will present a letter to the Ambassador (who is not and will not be at post) asking U.S. support for debt relief at the June 8-10 G8 Summit at Sea Island. 2. (SBU) Comment: NANS is a long-established student organization, but there is no evidence these students are representing NANS. President Obasanjo is expected to make a strong pitch for debt relief when he attends the Sea Island G8 Summit. ROBERTS
