US embassy cable - 05KUWAIT1120

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.

(U) Humanitarian Operations Center (HOC) contacts informed 
Emboffs on March 16 that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs 
(MFA) had granted the HOC a last minute reprieve and extended 
its mandate until June 30th, delaying its closure for at 
least three months.  Emboffs contacts could not confirm the 
length of the extension, but reported that the head of the 
HOC, Lieutenant General Ali Al-Mumin, asked the MFA for an 
indefinite extension with quarterly reviews.  Reportedly, 
Ali's request is under consideration by the MFA and they will 
revisit the situation in June 2005.
