US embassy cable - 04ACCRA2339

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. (C) On November 24, Ghanaian Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
Acting Director for African Affairs, Mr. G.A.A. Saame, told 
PolChief he was hopeful that the tensions in Cote D'Ivoire 
have eased.  He and Ghana's Foreign Minister had participated 
in initial Africa Union/ECOWAS discussions in Lagos on the 
Cote D'Ivoire crisis.  Ghana supported the UN arms embargo 
and South African mediation efforts.  South African President 
Mbeki was still talking with the Ivoirian government and the 
rebels, as mandated by the AU and ECOWAS.  Ghana was awaiting 
his report and saw it as premature to be more involved in 
Cote D'Ivoire until assessing the fruits of Mbeki's 
diplomatic efforts.
