PRESIDENT BASHIR
Classified By: P/E Chief E. Whitaker, Reason: Section 1.4 (b) and (d)
1. (C) Former President Jimmy Carter provided a read-out to
Charge Hume following his February 10 meeting with President
Bashir. Regarding the North-South situation, Carter reported
that Bashir was in favor of further involvement by the
Inter-governmental Authority on Development (IGAD),perhaps
by Kenyan General Sumbeiywo ) as during the Comprehensive
Peace Agreement (CPA) negotiations. IGAD could be helpful in
defusing the sensitive process of delineating and demarcating
the North-South border. Carter related that Bashir insisted
that the Abyei dispute be resolved on the basis of the 1905
border, rather than the line drawn by the Abyei Boundaries
Commission. President Bashir insisted that noted that the
South had only recently provided the names of its
participants to the Border Committee, slowing its work.
Bashir added, however, that the Border Committee would
oversee the laying down of North-South "reference points" at
the end of the current dry season.
2. (C) On the Darfur conflict, former President Carter said
he and President Bashir had discussed the three-phase
transition toward a UN-led peacekeeping operation. Bashir
insisted that the "combatant troops" and the force commander
be from the African Union. He also indicated that he would
accept the number of peacekeeping troops as determined by the
force commander.
3. (C) Finally, President Carter said that President Bashir
had denied that janjaweed were incorporated in the Sudanese
Armed Forces, Bashir maintained that though the government
had supported Arab militias in the past, it was no longer
doing so.
