¶3. (SBU) UN Assistant Secretary General Menkerios
briefed the Security Council on his visit to Guinea,

support for the commission of inquiry (COI). Menkerios

regarding the level of cooperation junta leader Dadis
would offer. (MGGV01/USUN e-mail)

human rights abuses. (MGGV01/Embassy Conakry e-mail)
¶6. (SBU) A civil society umbrella group, the Forces
Vives, is drafting a transition strategy laying out
roles and responsibilities of a national transition
