US embassy cable - 04DJIBOUTI830

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.

Copy to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International 
Cooperation, in charge of relations with the Parliament 
 
I have the honor to transmit to you the thanks of the people 
of Djibouti and of my Department following the assistance your 
country provided for the flood disaster of April 2004. 
 
We were appreciative of your personal participation and those 
responsible at USAID to quickly answer the call for aid from 
the Ministry of Health. Thanks to your support, the potential 
for epidemics has been avoided and the health centers have 
been able to deal effectively with cases of diarrhea or other 
illnesses related to the catastrophe of last April. 
 
Lastly, I request that you convey our gratitude to your 
Government. 
 
I ask your acceptance, Excellence, of our respectful 
salutations.
