SUBJECT: CHAD: DEMARCHE ON CHARLES TAYLOR
REF: STATE 47875
1. (SBU) Emboff met acting MFA Europe-America officer Kama
Dounia March 28 to make delivery (orally in French, written
in English) of ref demarche urging Chad not to accept Charles
Taylor if he attempted to flee to Chad, to cooperate fully
with the UN and the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and to
make a public statement in support of Taylor's transfer to
the Special Court.
2. (SBU) Dounia said that the demarche, which he would
transmit as soon as possible (the ministry being on a
three-day strike) to his superiors, was one that Chad took
all the more seriously since Chad found itself in a somewhat
similar situation, with former president Hissene Habre under
Belgian warrant of arrest and in refuge in Senegal. Noting
also U.S. interest in issues such as the Latin American seat
on the UNSC (on which Chad had not yet taken a position),
Dounia hoped that the U.S. would give active support to Chad
in bringing Habre to justice.
