US embassy cable - 04ABUJA1797

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.

1. (U)  The talks started October 21, but the plenary 
session was postponed because many delegation members were 
still not in Abuja.  The talks will resume formally on 
Monday, October 25, although Friday, October 22 has been set 
aside for consultations.  General Okonkwo has indicated that 
a Joint Commission meeting may be held on Sunday. 
 
2. (SBU)  The large GOS delegation arrived in Abuja just 
before the opening ceremony October 21.  JEM had three in 
attendance, with most of their delegation stuck in Libya 
waiting for clearance for their plane to depart, and the 
remainder in N'djamena.  SLM had four in attendance, with 
the remainder of their delegation still in Asmara and 
N'djamena.  The AU has provided assurance that they will 
provide a charter aircraft to move the N'djamena group to 
Abuja on either October 22 or 23. 
 
3. (U) Khartoum minimize considered.
