US embassy cable - 05MADRID1254

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.

(C)  In a follow up to ref A demarche on the IGAD plan to 
deploy troops in Somalia, Spanish MFA chief of staff for 
sub-Saharan African Affairs Nuria Reigosa Gonzalez responded 
March 29 that Spain agrees that the plan is ambitious, 
costly, and may not help stabilize Somalia.  Reigosa said 
Spain would not seek bilateral discussions on this issue with 
member countries of the African Union or the IGAD but would 
further develop its position through its participation in the 
European Union working group on Africa in the coming weeks.
