2. (C) COMMENT: Senegalese are still angry about the April
1 murder of five of their peacekeepers in Darfur.
Nonetheless, we expect that with adequate protection and
logistical support, Senegal will keep its peacekeepers in
Darfur and will send the additional 300 peacekeepers that it
originally offered to deploy months ago, bringing its
presence to approximately 850 peacekeepers, including
gendarmes in the role of civilian police. END COMMENT.
