(SBU) PolCouns raised the question of a Moroccan contribution
to reinforce the MINUSTAH mission with MFA Director General
for Multilateral Cooperation Nasser Bourita Feb. 5, noting
that Morocco had contributed to MINUSTAH until 2006. Bourita
said that Morocco recognized the humanitarian crisis in Haiti
and was pleased to have responded with a donation of medical
supplies as a strictly humanitarian gesture. However, he
said, the GOM would not contribute soldiers, gendarmes or
police to MINUSTAH because of the Haitian government's 2006
decision to recognize and establish diplomatic ties with the
Sahrawi Arab Democratic Rebublic (SADR).
