1. (C) CDA Fernandez presented talking points in reftel to
Sudanese MFA Under-Secretary Mutriff Siddiq on September 8.
Siddiq welcomed the possibility of the upcoming transfer. He
confirmed that the same humane treatment, security and access
assurances previously provided by the GOS with respect to
earlier Guantanamo transferees would also apply in this case.
He also confirmed that Sudan would allow refueling of a plane
transferring a detainee to the exclusive custody and control
of Sudan. CDA asked that Sudan not talk publicly about the
possibility of such a transfer until, at least, it actually
has occurred.


2. (C) Siddiq added that, as in past transfers, the single
point of contact will be an officer at the National
Intelligence and Security Service (NISS). RAO is reaching out
to NISS on September 8 for additional information, including
on the welfare and whereabouts of previously returned
detainees.
