1. (SBU) DCM and PolOff discussed reftel points with GODJ Ministry
of Foreign Affairs Director of Bilateral Relations Mohamed Ali
Hassan June 11.
2. (C) Hassan said that the GODJ had not yet taken a position on
the issue. In general, he noted, the GODJ often tended not to
"take a clear-cut position" early on, until hearing from all sides
and waiting for general consensus to emerge. Hassan said that he
would convey the USG points to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
to Djibouti's Ambassador in Geneva.
3. (C) COMMENT. In March, the GODJ strongly condemned the
International Criminal Court indictment of Bashir (ref C).
However, press reports that the GODJ had invited Bashir to visit
Djibouti were completely erroneous (ref D). Djibouti is likely to
look for any emerging consensus among the Arab League, African
Union, and/or Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD)
before taking a definite stance on this question. END COMMENT.
