REF: NAIROBI 207

Classified By: CDA ROBERT P. JACKSON FOR REASONS 1.4 (B) AND (D).

(C) On January 11, drawing upon reftel and earlier guidance
from the Department, Charge answered Acting Senegalese
Foreign Minister Claude Absa Diallo's questions about the
situation in Somalia. Ambassador Diallo hoped that the
Ethiopians would withdraw quickly to avoid being seen as an
occupier. Diallo opined that she did not know where the
African Union would find peacekeepers. She said that with
Senegal's recent decision to augment its peacekeepers in
Darfur by 300, Senegal could not contribute to a Somalia
mission.
