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.

UNCLAS MASERU 000224 SIPDIS DEPT FOR DS, AF/S AND AF/EX E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ASEC, LT, UN SUBJECT: UN OBTAINS MASERU SECURITY OFFICER REF: (A) MASERU 187 (B) MASERU 167 (C) MASERU 165 This is to advise that the UN Mission in Maseru, due to the critical crime threat and potential insecurity, has succeeded in obtaining headquarters concurrence for a Security Officer here after requesting one in February 2005. The UN's Resident Representative explained (following April 28 joint meeting with the GOL Minister for Security) that the threat and crime levels prompted her request immediately upon arrival to Lesotho in early 2005. We note the UN asked for the U.S. Embassy's assistance in locating a security firm and quickly installed fencing and barriers similar to the Chancery's. The UN's previous coverage by a Regional Officer in Johannesburg was determined to be insufficient given conditions in Lesotho. We encourage Department to seek similar protection for U.S. Mission and American citizens posted here with their UN colleagues. PERRY
