1. (C) POLOFF delivered reftel points to Huub Buise, Head of
the Dutch MFA's Sudan Task Force and Horn of Africa section,
and Jaime de Bourbon Parme, policy officer for Peacekeeping
Operations and the lead officer for the Chad/Central African
Republic deployment (EUFOR TCHAD/CAR). In a discussion on
January 14, de Bourbon indicated that the Dutch will provide
two platoons, or 60-80 troops, in support of the deployment.
De Bourbon said the Dutch "are very positive" about the
mission, and see it as supporting their efforts in Sudan and
Darfur.
2. (C) Earlier press reports that the Netherlands might
provide a hospital were mistaken. The Dutch have promised to
provide a hospital unit in Darfur. The Italians will provide
a hospital unit in Chad.
3. (U) MINIMIZE CONSIDERED.
