SUBJECT: SUDAN SUMMIT TO TAKE PLACE IN DAKAR ON AUGUST 9
REF: DAKAR 1863 (NOTAL)
Classified By: Ambassador Janice L. Jacobs for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (U) President Abdoulaye Wade has invited the Presidents
of Sudan, Chad, Gabon and Tanzania, as well as the leaders of
the Darfur rebel groups that did not sign the Abuja Darfur
peace agreement (DPA) to Dakar for an August 9 summit. The
ostensible aim is to achieve a lasting peace in Darfur and to
lay the groundwork for re-hatting the African Union Mission
in Sudan (AMIS).
2. (C) Wade was in Sudan from August 4 through 8 (reftel)
and is in N,djamena today for President Deby Ito,s
inauguration. Wade reportedly told the media in Khartoum
that his Sudan trip came at the behest of the United States,
France and Canada. In fact, while all three countries have
demarched him about Sudan, none of the Ambassadors is aware
of any specific request to mediate. Interestingly enough,
Foreign Minister Gadio invited the UK to witness the summit,
but HMG has declined.
3. (C) According to Acting Senegalese Foreign Minister
Claude Absa Diallo, in Khartoum, Wade pushed unsuccessfully
for President Omer El-Bashir to accept re-hatting AMIS as a
UN force. Ambassador Diallo told DCM that Wade intends to
make another effort in conjunction with the Gabonese and
Tanzanian heads of state on August 9.
4. (C) COMMENT: Wade continues his conflict resolution
efforts, now focusing on Darfur rather than Iran. However,
we may hear more about Iran following Prime Minister Macky
Sall,s return from Tehran. END COMMENT.
