REF: STATE 8022
1. (U) Madagascar: Madagascar's Foreign Minister Marcel
Ranjeva had already departed the country when reftel demarche
was received. After repeated attempts to reach him abroad,
Ambassador delivered reftel demarche to Acting Secretary
General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) who promised
to convey our concerns to the Foreign Minister in Addis
Ababa. Due to the recent change in cabinet members of the
Government of Madagascar (GOM),the Acting SecGen was the
most senior GOM official available. In addition, Ambassador
will continue to try to reach Minister Ranjeva personally by
telephone throughout the weekend.
2. (SBU) Comoros: Pol/Econ Chief delivered talking points
to Ambassador Hodhauer Inzouddine, Secretary General of the
Ministry of External Affairs of the Government of the Comoros
(GOC) who accepted the message but noted the GOC is
preoccupied by the ongoing African Union mission in Comoros
to settle the inter-island dispute. He insinuated Comoros
would likely follow South Africa,s lead, given their
neighbor to the south had invested so much in the 2006
Comoros Presidential election.
3. (U) Post will report septel if any further substantive
information is received.
