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. 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 said he reiterated an offer
that he first made in Khartoum on August 4 to attempt to
mediate between the U.S. and Sudan.
