¶1. (C) Nigerian Foreign Minister Chief Ojo Maduekwe told
Ambassador on November 23 that Burkinabe President Blaise
Compaore had "exceeded his mandate a bit" with his non-paper
on a proposed transitional government in Guinea (refs C to E)
and that the Economic Community of West African States
(ECOWAS) was trying "to get things back on track." In
response to the Ambassador's follow-up demarche on the ECOWAS
observer force (refs A and B),Maduekwe said he would consult
with President Yar'Adua on possibly sending an observer force
to Conakry.
¶2. (C) Separately, French diplomat Francis Guenon told
PolMilOff November 20 that a Commission of Inquiry (COI)
representative had asked French Embassy officials whether
they could provide security for the COI during its
investigations in Conakry. Guenon did not indicate how the
French responded, but he expressed frustration that ECOWAS
did not provide some type of security observer force.
