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 O N F I D E N T I A L ABU DHABI 002529 SIPDIS STATE FOR NEA/NGA AND NEA/ARP NSC FOR ABRAMS, THEROUX AND KHALILZAD DOD FOR OSD/NESA E.O. 12958: DECL: 05/27/13 TAGS: PREL, PGOV, PHUM, IZ, TC SUBJECT: WORRIED IRAQIS APPROACH THE EMBASSY ABOUT RENEWING THEIR IRAQI PASSPORTS 1. (U) Classified by DCM Richard A. Albright for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D). 2. (U) This is an action request, please see para 4. 3. (C) The Embassy has received calls in the last two days from a number of Iraqi citizens resident in the UAE requesting urgent information on how they should go about renewing their Iraqi passports. Polchief confirmed 5/28 with a resident Iraqi citizen doctor that the Iraqi Embassy in Abu Dhabi ceased all consular operations earlier this week. The Iraqis who have contacted us are worried that their inability to renew their passports will jeopardize their residency status in the UAE and make it impossible for them to travel outside the country. The Iraqis have already approached the UAE authorities, who in turn have directed them to the U.S. Embassy for answers. The UAE hosts a large Iraqi population, estimated at approximately 30,000. We imagine other posts with large Iraqi communities will receive similar queries and that, absent answers, this issue will make its way into the local and, possibly, the international press. 4. (U) ACTION REQUEST: Understanding the complexities of this issue, we request the Department's guidance at the earliest possible opportunity. WAHBA
