1. (SBU) The Department of State has reviewed its files and
finds that as of October 2, 2008, it possesses no credible
information of gross violations of human rights by the
officers listed in paragraph 3. The review, however,
revealed that the EX-FNI Unit did have 5 militiamen who were
sentenced for the murder of UN military observers. Two names
from the list were associated with the Unit:
6) MATESO, Tsedha
58) SOLO, Mateso.
2. (SBU) Post should note that these two individuals have
been identified as members of the EX-FNI Unit; however, there
is no compelling evidence that links them to specific human
right abuses. The Department of State is aware that the
EX-FNI Unit is responsible for human rights abuses committed
in the past, and therefore encourages Post to conduct further
investigations on the individuals cited above. After
reviewing the current information available, the Department
of State is unable to deny clearance to these individuals
without direct evidence that links them to human right
abuses. The discovery of any evidence that contradicts this
review will terminate clearance to the individuals in
question and should be brought to the Department's attention
immediately.
