US embassy cable - 05DJIBOUTI678

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.

REF: SECSTATE 124830 
 
Classified By: Pol/Econ Erinn C. Stott for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d). 
 
1. (C) Pol/Econ delivered demarche per reftel 14 July to 
Director of Bilateral Relations in the Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs, Mohamed Ali Hassan. Hassan asked did the Swiss 
government write to each member nation of the OIC directly 
asking for this support. Pol/Econ said she was not sure, but 
could check. He continued that the Swiss government should 
send an official request regarding this issue, without such a 
request it would be difficult for Djibouti to take a stand. 
Hassan added that Djibouti is an Arab and Islamic state, and 
the issue is sensitive. He also said that some of the 
arguments put forward by Israel are not convincing, asking 
why the crescent or the cross would be considered an unsafe 
emblem for the population.
