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 O N F I D E N T I A L DJIBOUTI 001137 SIPDIS E.O. 12958: DECL: 08/26/2014 TAGS: PGOV, PREL, DJ SUBJECT: RUMORS OF CHANGES IN DJIBOUTI'S DIPLOMATIC CORP Classified By: Pol/Econ Erinn C. Reed for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 1. (C) Political Assistant reported to Poloff that rumors have been circulating throughout town and within Foreign Affairs that changes in Djibouti's Embassies abroad will be coming soon, possibly as soon as September. Washington DC, Asmara, Addis Ababa, Jeddah and Yemen are rumored to be where the changes will occur. It has been said that Ambassador Olhaye, Djiboutian Ambassador to the United States, has been out of Djibouti for too long, and will probably be pulled from his assignment. Rumors of who his replacement will be indicate that Director of Bilateral Affairs, Mohamed Ali Hassan, is expected to be tapped for the position. Regarding Jeddah, rumors say Mohamed Aden, current Consul to Jeddah, has been making mistakes for many years and most likely will come back to Djibouti. Word on the street is a consulate will open in New Delhi, India. PolAsst said that these rumors have been circulating for several weeks, but have increased dramatically just recently. Post will investigate these rumors and seek validation of possible changes. 2. (C) COMMENT: Our key interest is, of course, in assuring that whoever negotiates for Djibouti regarding the extension of base rights does so with the full authority of their government. We judge that Ambassador Olhaye carries/will carry that authority even if his tour in Washington/New York is drawing to a close. END COMMENT. GRIBBIN
