¶1. (U) On Monday, July 16 Ambassador met with Rosemary
Museminali, Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and Cooperation, to deliver reftel demarche on a UN
Security Council resolution that sets an October 1 date for
the African Mission in Sudan (AMIS) to transition to the
UN/AU hybrid operation and clarifies command and control. He
stressed the reasons for the UN Security Council to agree to
the October 1 date and for the inclusion of Chapter VII
language related to civilian and PKO force security and
protection. Ambassador encouraged the GOR to consider
supporting the UNSCR and to use their influence to appeal to
African members of the UNSC to do the same. Museminali
listened attentively and said the GOR would consider the
issue, but did not make any commitment.
