1. (C) During a January 24 meeting of Charge Hume with
Presidential Advisor Mustafa Osman Ismail to discuss reftel
demarche, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs asked that
the USG condemn the January 24 hijacking of an Air West
aircraft in Darfur (details covered in septel),because it
was a terrorist act against international civil aviation.
2. (C) Given our consonance of interest in fighting terrorism
and the need to resolve complex bilateral issues, I ask for
the Department Spokesman to announce our response to this
matter specifically in today's noon press briefing. A simple
public statement condemning this morning's hijacking in
Darfur would be a helpful, albeit minor, carrot.
3. (U) A full report of the meeting with Ismail will follow
septel.
