1. (C) Embassy Africa watcher shared reftel points February
26 on a proposed joint demarche to troop contributing
countries (TCCs) with MFA IO Africa expert Clement Leclerc.
2. (C) While Leclerc's initial reaction was guardedly
positive, in a subsequent meeting March 4, he told us that
the ambush and killing of MONUC forces and the subsequent
MONUC operation against the FNI in Ituri meant that the
context of MONUC's presence in the DRC had changed. He noted
that UNSYG Annan had asked TCCs to take action against those
who committed abuses, as France and Morocco had done. In
these circumstances, he suggested, France was unlikely to
participate in a joint demarche.
