1. (S/NF) Following consultations among the relevant agencies
at post, EMBASSY Khartoum has determined that the Government
of Sudan is unlikely to be receptive to cooperation with the
USG on the threat of MANPADS at this time. Addressing the
issue at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is likely to raise
suspicions on the part of the Sudanese and could be counter
productive. Post will seek to find an opportunity to raise
this issue discretely with the National Intelligence Service
(NISS),framing the issue in terms of Sudanese preparedness
in response to the threat of MANPADS. However we have not
yet had the opportunity to do so.
