SUBJECT: CORRECTION 3 - AFRICAN UNION RESPONSE TO U.S. 
OFFER OF C3IS EQUIPMENT 
 
 
1.  This cable is from the U.S. Mission to the African Union 
(USAU), 
 
2.  On October 24, 2007, USAU received Diplomatic Note from 
the African Union responding to the USAU's note verbale 
210/07 of September 7.  The diplomatic note from the African 
Union states that the AU is still in the process of 
determining all the requirements and implications of the full 
establishment of the African Standby Force (ASF), including 
the C3IS requirements.  It is, therefore, not in a position 
to consider any offer or proposal of support to C3IS, or any 
other component of the ASF, until a decision has been taken 
by the Assembly of Heads of State and Government.  The AU 
note also refers to the request for support of communications 
facilities to link AMISOM to the AU headquarters. 
 
 
3.  Full text of AU Diplomatic Note is as follows: 
 
BEGIN TEXT: 
 
The Commission of the African Union (AU) presents its 
compliments to the United States Mission to the African Union 
(USAU), and has the honour to 
acknowledge, with appreciation, receipt of letter 21/07, 
dated 7 September 2007, addressed by Her Excellency 
Ambassador Dr. Cindy L. Courville to His Excellency Alpha 
Omar Konare, Chairperson of the Commission.  In this regard, 
the Commission would like to communicate the following: 
 
The Commission takes note with appreciation of the wish of 
the Government of the United States of America to "present to 
the people of Africa the gift of a 
Command, Control, Communications and Information System or 
C3IS".  The Commission seizes this opportunity to reiterate 
its gratitude to the United States 
Government for all the support it has extended to it over the 
years in the establishment of the African Peace and Security 
Architecture, most notably in the 
areas of capacity building in the establishment of the 
Situation Room and the AU Military Logistics Depot.  The 
Commissionis also appreciative of the offer of a C3IS. 
 
However, as the Mission is aware, and as has been expressed 
by the Commission to US Government officials on numerous 
occasions, the AU is still in 
the process of determining all the requirements and 
implications of the full establishment of the African Standby 
Force (ASF), including its C3IS requirements.   In this 
regard, the AU Commission has convened a series of 
consultations over the past two years. 
 
The outcome of these various consultations is expected to be 
submitted to a meeting of  AU Ministers of Defense and 
security, which would be preceded by meetings of Defense and 
Security Experts and chiefs of Defense Staff.  Depending on 
the ability of the Commission and its partners to prepare the 
myriad working documents for these meetings in all working 
languages, the Commission hopes to convene these meetings 
before the next Summit of the AU, so that the Summit can 
endorse the recommendations of the Ministers of Defense and 
Security. 
 
As the USAU has been informed, the Commission is not in a 
position to consider any offer or proposal of support to 
C3IS, or to any other component of the ASF, until a decision 
has been taken by the Assembly of Heads of State and 
Government.  Furthermore, offers of support to areas as 
sensitive as C3IS should be considered with the full 
involvement of the relevant AU organs and structures, after 
approval by the Assembly. 
 
The Commission would like also to seize this opportunity to 
refer to its request to the Government of the US to support 
communication facilities that would link AMISOM to AU 
Headquarters.  As was discussed between the Commissioner for 
Peace and Security and the Ambassador during their last 
meeting, it was 
agreed that technical officers from the US Government would 
meet with officers from the AU, comprising of the Department 
of Peace and Security, the Management Information System 
Division, and other relevant units, to discuss the modalities 
for putting in place the communication equipment and training 
the AU staff who would be fully in charge of operating it. 
 
It is the understanding of the Commission that such equipment 
as is provided to enhance communication between the 
 
ADDIS ABAB 00003168  002 OF 002 
 
 
Commission Headquarters and AMISOM, is given as a donation by 
the Government of the United States, and that the equipment 
may be used for any future operation the AU deems fit. 
Further, it is 
understood by the Commission that this gift should not be 
linked to the C3IS requirements of the ASF discussed above. 
 
The Commission of the African Union avails itself of this 
opportunity to renew to the United States Mission to the 
African Union the assurances of its highest consideration.
