SUBJECT: ETHIOPIA-ERITREA: RESPONSE TO USG INSTRUCTIONS ON 
TWO-TRACK APPROACH 
 
REF: SECSTATE 097935 
 
1. (SBU) On July 20 Acting PolCouns delivered reftel points 
to Ms. Margaret Vogt, Deputy Director of the Africa I 
Division in the United Nations Department of Political 
Affairs (DPA).  Also present was DPA Africa I Division 
Political Officer Mamadi Toure and Poloff.  (NOTE: DPA 
Under-Secretary-General Pascoe became unavailable on short 
notice for this meeting.  END NOTE).  Acting PolCouns 
stressed the USG wish to see the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary 
Commission (EEBC) take advantage of its early September 
meetings with the parties to move the reconciliation process 
forward faster, given what appeared to be imminent 
hostilities between the sides.  He highlighted the 
"break-through potential" offered by the EEBC September 
meeting in getting outstanding differences, particularly in 
terms of demarcation definitions and interpretations, 
clarified between the sides. 
 
2. (SBU) Acting PolCouns emphasized the USG belief that the 
Secretary-General take the lead on the second track parallel 
 
SIPDIS 
to the EEBC process by considering sponsoring meetings on the 
margins of the EEBC September session as a forum for 
discussions on issues more "normal" than the divisive border 
talk between the two.  Acting PolCouns said the USG would be 
willing to engage with the Witnesses to the Algiers 
Agreements, the Friends of the UN Mission to Ethiopia/Eritrea 
(UNMEE) and other interested parties to lend support to and 
generate momentum for this second track effort.  Acting 
PolCouns pointed out that the USG role was best played 
behind-the-scenes, given our somewhat strained relationship 
with Eritrea. 
 
3. (SBU) Deputy Director Vogt was encouraged to hear that the 
USG shared DPA's view of the importance of underlying issues 
between the sides, beyond the "technicalities of 
demarcation."  She stressed the need to focus on issues such 
as the Eritrean economy, Ethiopian access to the sea, and 
Eritrea's insecurity over respect for its territorial 
integrity.  She said that Eritrea considers pillar erection 
as the ultimate confirmation of its independence in the face 
of what Eritrea sees as lingering Ethiopian refusal to 
recognize that Eritrea has gone its separate way.  Likewise, 
Vogt noted that Ethiopia needed a way to reassure its 
domestic constituencies that it did not "sell out" by 
granting Eritrea its independence.  She considered Acting 
PolCouns' suggestion of creating a forum for discussion of 
confidence-building measures outside the border context as a 
way to give both sides a ladder to climb down. 
 
4. (SBU) Deputy Director Vogt "did not see the 
Secretary-General saying no" to reftel request but warned 
 
SIPDIS 
that Eritrea had traditionally not been receptive to the 
SYG's offer of good offices.  She expressed hope that 
interested parties, especially Norway, would play a 
supporting role if the SYG came out in front on the 
initiative.  Vogt considered that discussions between the 
sides begin in advance of the September EEBC meeting as a way 
to "soften the ground" for the parties, something, as DPA 
Poloff Toure added, had been done before the agreement on the 
Bakassi peninsula through an SYG-convened meeting in Geneva. 
Both Vogt and Acting PolCouns agreed that September could 
represent the apex of an intensive outreach effort, in the 
months both before and after, in the run-up to the EEBC 
November deadline. 
 
5. (SBU) In separate conversations with Poloff, the Italian 
and UK Missions expressed support for the EEBC September 
meeting.  UKUN Poloff said London considered it "an 
opportunity not to be wasted," and both the UK and Italy saw 
the meeting as a chance to extend the EEBC's withdrawal 
deadline beyond November.  Italian Poloff supported any 
initiative to build confidence between the sides, including 
through utilizing the Military Coordination Commission. 
Regarding the SYG's good offices, Italian Poloff saw 
appointment of a Special Representative as a possible way 
forward, including as a way to acknowledge the Eritrean 
position.  He was concerned, however, that the latest SYG 
Report on the UN Mission in Ethiopia/Eritrea (S/2007/440), 
 
 
could hinder the SYG's good offices efforts, since the 
Report's language was "rightly tough" on Eritrea on some 
areas but no so in others.
