¶1. (C) EmbOff delivered demarche to Ambassador Bernard
Tanoh-Boutchoue on March 16, and left text of key points for
further MFA consideration. Tanoh-Boutchoue promised the MFA
would review U.S. concerns related to President Bashir's
rejection of key Heavy Support Package elements prior to the
Monday, March 19th briefing by UN UnderSecretary Guehenno.
¶2. (C) Ambassador Tanoh-Boutchoue was sympathetic to the
USG position that Bashir's letter was an affront to the AU
and UN, and said that, upon initial review, Cote d'Ivoire
would probably be inclined to support a tough line with
Khartoum.
