US embassy cable - 05DJIBOUTI133

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. (SBU) Per REFTEL (a) paragraph 3, there are no 
identifiable changes in the security environment since Post's 
last report.  The operational and threat condition remain the 
same for all three environments and Post continues to work 
with Host nation and U.S. Military counterparts to closely 
monitor the threat. 
 
2. (SBU) It must be noted that 2005 is a Presidential 
election year for Djibouti.  Although there are no 
indications that political opposition parties are mounting 
any form of resistance against the current regime, past 
incidents have resulted in demonstrations and minimal civil 
disorder.  Post does not foresee any trouble and expects the 
elections to proceed without incident.  Embassy Officers will 
report accordingly as the date for elections draws near. 
 
3. (U) POC is RSO Marc Ramos at 253-35-39-95 ext 2307 or 
253-35-26-73 (secure).
