US embassy cable - 04BRUSSELS3055

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.

(C) Mission delivered reftel points to Roger Moore, DG 
Development Acting Director Horn of Africa, East and Southern 
Africa, and Joaquim Salqueiro, DG Development Officer for 
Sudan.  We also followed up with Christoph Heusgen, who heads 
Hirep Javier Solana's Policy Unit.  Moore stated the EU 
supports, as it has in the past, the deployment of an African 
Union protection force.  Whether this develops into a broader 
AU force, he continued, depends wholly on AU initiative.  He 
thought it likely that the EU would provide funds as long as 
the political will could be maintained. The contribution of 
forces by the EU, however, remains questionable; neither 
Moore nor Salquiero seemed willing to discuss this as a 
possibility.  Heusgen told us it was highly unlikely.
