(C) French MFA Zimbabwe desk officer Isabelle de Boisgelen
said on July 7 that France would support the inclusion of
Gideon Gono (reftel) in the EU Zimbabwe sanctions program,
which would in turn facilitate European support of Gono's
inclusion in the Annex to the proposed UNSC sanctions
resolution. She said that the relevant Africa, IO, and EU
CFSP offices had all cleared this approach.
