1. (C) Embassy sources report that a delegation representing
the mutineers at Camp Alpha Yaya are on their way to Camp
Touare. They will reportedly demand the immediate dismissal
of the current Minister of Defense, General Baillo Diallo.
There have been no further reports of large military
movements toward Camp Touare (reftel). One source says that
the mutineers are demanding that the Deputy Minister of
Defense, General Mamadou Sampil be named as the new minister.
(COMMENT. The mutineers reportedly detained General Mamadou
Sampil for several hours when the mutiny began on May 25.
However, Sampil is generally popular among the troops. END
COMMENT).


2. (SBU) The situation outside the military camps remains
calm. Embassy has received no reports of violence.
