SUBJECT: SUDAN AUGUST 9 SUMMIT IN DAKAR CANCELED

REF: LIBREVILLE 00519

Classified By: Ambassador Janice L. Jacobs for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).

(C) Senegal's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that
the planned Sudan summit (reftel and previous) has been
indefinitely postponed. Upon his return from Ndjamena,
President Abdoulaye Wade stressed that he had tried to
convince Sudanese President Omar El-Bashir that the latter
should agree to re-hatting the African Union Mission in Sudan
(AMIS) force. Wade said Senegal is prepared to increase its
AMIS contribution from 622 to 1,000 soldiers and gendarmes.
El-Bashir reportedly replied that he cannot accept a UN
peacekeeping operation because the United States (and other
members of the UN Security Council) has sanctions in place
against Sudan. Wade also reiterated an offer that he first
made in Khartoum on August 4 to attempt to mediate between
the U.S. and Sudan.
