US embassy cable - 04DJIBOUTI1510

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.

SIPDIS 
Ali Bogoreh. Bogoreh agreed that the UNSC meeting in Nairobi 
was historic and showed the commitment of the International 
Community. He added that this meeting also showed the 
commitment of the Sudanese government to finding a final 
solution. He posed the question whether it would be wise to 
encourage Sudan to pursue a good path or to continue 
condemning it. Bogoreh said Djibouti would wait to see how 
the vote on the procedural motion went, then decide on the 
EU's resolution. He added Djibouti was in a delicate 
situation because Sudan is a friend and partner in IGAD. 
Bogoreh said that Djibouti should be very discreet when 
taking actions. Pol/Econ countered that the intent of the 
request for support on the EU resolution was to reinforce the 
message given by the Security Council and show the 
international community was fully committed to supporting the 
establishment of peace and stability in Sudan. Bogoreh 
replied that peace is essential to Sudan, human rights as 
well, but Djibouti would wait and see on the resolution.
