1.(C) National Security Advisor Aliyu Mohammed June 25
requested the U.S. to delay acceptance of Ravalomanana's
accession until after the OAU/AU Durban convention in early
July. Aliyu said that, knowing the views of the U.S. and most
Western countries would help the OAU reach a decision
favorable to Ravalomanana. But announcements by the U.S. and
others that appear to pre-empt the OAU/AU would create
difficulties.
