SUBJECT: RAISED VOICES AND HOSTILITY REVEALED AT AEC PLENARY 
 
 
1.  (SBU) SUMMARY AND COMMENT:  The 23rd session of the Assessment 
and Evaluation's (AEC) plenary session led to many tense moments on 
peripheral issues such as: the approval of prior minutes; the AEC 
chairman's independence; and the status of the working groups' 
reports on 'the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement 
(CPA) after two years.'  Given that the meeting focused more on 
process than substance, the hostile and aggressive tone of the 
meeting was both unexpected and unusual.  The strong emotions, 
raised voices, and heated exchanges, especially initiated by the 
National Congress Party (NCP) representatives, signals that the tone 
of the these meetings needs to improve as the AEC seeks to 
effectively support CPA implementation.  END SUMMARY AND COMMENT. 
 
------------------------------ 
STARTING OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT 
------------------------------ 
 
2.  (U) The AEC meeting started off with a tense exchange between 
Chairman Vraalsen and NCP representative Idris Abdelgadir, a State 
Minister at the Presidency, on suggested amendments to the draft 
minutes from the AEC Plenary Session held on May 15, 2007.  Although 
the actual point of disagreement was not discussed, Abdelgadir 
adamantly insisted that if a party does not agree to the minutes, 
they cannot be considered an official record of the meeting. 
Chairman Vraalsen asserted that at least three note takers record 
the proceedings of all AEC meetings and that they are an accurate 
record.  After a heated exchange, the debate ended with Vraalsen 
declaring that the minutes are not approved, and sarcastically 
saying, "Thank you for that pleasant exchange." 
 
----------------- 
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT 
----------------- 
3.  (U) Vraalsen opened his formal remarks saying that the current 
tone of the AEC and CPA implementation is marked by "patience, but 
with an under current of growing impatience."  He listed his 
meetings in August which included visits with: the special envoy to 
Sudan, Daniel Arap Moi (reftel A); the National Constitutional 
Review Commission (NCRC); the former chairman of Fiscal and 
Financial Allocation and Monitoring Commission (FFAMC); and the 
Chairman of the Statistical Bureaus of the North and South.  [The 
full text of the Chairman's report has been sent to AF/SPG.] 
 
------------------------ 
CONTROLLING THE CHAIRMAN 
------------------------ 
4.  (U)  Vraalsen ended his remarks describing the Sudanese Office 
of the Presidency's attempt to control his attendance and public 
remarks at regional meetings.  Vraalsen stated that the African 
Union invited him to make a presentation to the African Union's 
Peace and Security Council (AU PSC) about CPA implementation 
previously scheduled for August 22nd.  Although Vraalsen had to 
decline the invitation due to other obligations, he reported that 
Vice President Ali Osman Taha told him that the AU "had no right to 
convene such a meeting without consultations with the GNU" and that 
Vraalsen would need prior approval of both his attendance and 
expected public remarks at such meetings from the office of the 
Presidency of Sudan.  Vraalsen stated that Taha's actions and a 
later letter from General Bakri Hassan Salih raises questions 
concerning "the working methods, the authority, and the work space 
of the Chairman of the AEC."  Vraalsen then stated, "In view of the 
importance of these questions, I have found it correct to bring the 
issue to the attention of my employer, the Norwegian Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs." 
 
------------------------------- 
STATUS OF WORKING GROUP REPORTS 
------------------------------- 
5.  (U) The remainder of the meeting focused on status updates from 
the various groups on the 'CPA implementation report after 2 years." 
All working groups (i.e. the Three Areas, the Security, the Wealth 
Sharing, and the Power Sharing groups) reported that having received 
input from both the SPLM and the NCP, the reports are almost 
complete.  Several working group coordinators stated that finalizing 
the reports remains a final, and often highly contested, challenge. 
NCP representatives voiced their concern that the coordinators were 
bypassing their mandate in becoming "mediators," that the SPLM took 
too long to provide their input, and that mutually agreed upon 
language was later changed to benefit the SPLM.  Vraalsen expressed 
frustration that the reports have taken 10 months to get to this 
stage and questioned whether it would be better just to cancel the 
reports all together.  This drew a quick response from the NCP who 
reconfirmed their support for drafting the report, stated that their 
party has held extensive consultations with each coordinator, and 
repeated that the SPLM was responsible for delays in submitting 
comments and input. 
 
-------------------------------- 
AEC TRANPARENCY AND MEDIA ACCESS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7.  (SBU)  COMMENT:  Throughout the meeting, the NCP representatives 
provoked many loud and angry exchanges.  The debates about 
Vraalsen's autonomy and AEC transparency appear to indicate that the 
NCP representatives want to control information coming out of the 
AEC, and may also signal an underlying hostility towards Chairman 
Vraalsen and the authority he wields.  Although the NCP 
representatives were responsible for initQQ2#TQdQkhe draft minutes of the 23rd 
AEC Plenary meeting 
have been sent to AF/SPG.  END NOTE.
