US embassy cable - 01ABUJA3265

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.

On December 20, POLCOUNS delivered the demarches on the 
ECOWAS Summit and the Terrorist Exclusion List(TEL) to West 
Africa Minister-Counselor Folu Ogunbanwo at the MFA. (For the 
past two weeks, the MFA has been depleted of our regular 
contacts, who were either in New York or on leave for the 
holidays.)  Acknowledging the need to make anti-terrorism a 
key part of the Summit, Ogunbanwo promised to relay our 
concerns to the Nigerian delegation in Dakar, especially our 
urging that the West Africans overcome the linguistic divide 
hampering the GIABA's development as an effective anti-money 
laundering organization.  Ogunbanwo also accepted the TEL, 
assuring that it would get wide distribution within the GON.
