Viewing cable 08KHARTOUM111, UNAMID DEPLOYMENT: SOME PROGRESS BUT WELL BEHIND SCHEDULE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #08KHARTOUM111.

1. (SBU) Egyptian political officer Tamer Azzam told poloff January 
24 that Egyptian troops for three separate UNAMID deployments are 
poised to arrive in February and should complete their deployment by 
the end of April.  Azzam said that the Egyptian contingent's 
equipment had arrived at Port Sudan and is in the process of being 
transported to Darfur.  (Note: UNAMID could not confirm the arrival 
of this equipment, noting they have limited ability to track items 
at the port. End note.)  Azzam said a 150-person Egyptian signals 
company will be assigned to El-Fasher, a 275-person engineering 
company will be assigned to El-Geneina, and a 200-person troop 
transport unit will be assigned to Nyala. 
 
2. (SBU) According to a January 17 UN Headquarters Department of 
Field Support document shared with FieldOff January 24, the UN has 
planned precise dates for deployment of these units.  The signals 
company and the engineering company are expected in El Fasher and El 
Geneina respectively by March 10, with equipment to be delivered 
between March 3 and 7.  The transport company is expected in Nyala 
by February 29, with equipment scheduled to arrive between February 
25 and 28. 
 
3. (SBU) Azzam said that Cairo and UN/DPKO are discussing the 
deployment of an Egyptian mechanized infantry battalion to be 
deployed in Nyala.  If approved, the 850 soldiers will likely be 
deployed in the Northern Sector.  UNAMID's Chief of Transition Plans 
told FieldOff that DPKO wanted UNAMID to accept this battalion and 
an Ethiopian battalion as part of an "Early Effects Package." 
UNAMID has not yet formally replied to DPKO's proposal, but it has 
already indicated informally that such an early deployment will be 
difficult.  Force Commander Agwai himself reportedly considers that 
UNAMID is not yet logistically prepared to receive these forces; a 
deployment location has not even been identified for the Egyptians, 
for example.  UNAMID views the push to deploy these forces as DPKO's 
"political response" to the Government of Sudan's refusal to admit 
non-African forces who were slated to do a similar job (the Thais), 
and the FC has reportedly said that he will not let such politics 
dictate the proper deployment of troops for UNAMID. 
 
4. (SBU) There is also considerable internal UN debate on how to 
move the Egyptian mechanized battalion into Darfur. Reportedly there 
is a $2.6 million cost difference between deploying the full 
battalion (people and cargo) by air versus by sea.  It is likely 
that DPKO will settle on a combination of air and sea transport, 
with the 260-person advance company slated for airlift to Nyala 
between March 10 and 14, and equipment expected to arrive between 
February 24 and March 10.  Cargo for the bulk of the battalion will 
be shipped by sea and should arrive in Nyala o/a March 31. 
 
5. (SBU) Pakistani Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) Saleem 
Mohammed Khan told poloff January 22 that the Pakistani engineering 
company originally scheduled for a December deployment has been 
delayed.  UNAMID sources told FieldOff January 24 that this company 
should arrive in March, although UNAMID has not yet received a load 
list for the unit.  The Pakistani DCM added that the Level III 
Medical Hospital (staffed by Pakistan) that is planned for Nyala has 
also been delayed. UNAMID told FieldOff on January 24 that the 
hospital unit is also expected to deploy in March. 
 
6. (SBU) Nigerian DCM Muktar Kano told poloff January 22 that a date 
has not been set for the arrival of the Nigerian Level II Hospital 
planned for El-Geneina, which was originally planned to deploy in 
December.  He opined that the earliest the hospital unit would 
deploy would be mid-February.  A January 17 UN document shared with 
FieldOff on January 24 indicates that the UN plans for the advance 
party of the Nigerian hospital unit to arrive in El Geneina o/a 
March 20, while the rest of the 100-person unit should deploy by the 
end of March. 
 
7. (SBU) Comment: Given that the bulk of the Chinese engineering 
company's equipment arrived on November 10 (ref B) and the Chinese 
only started construction on January 21 (ref A), post views the 
Egyptian deployment plan as fairly realistic.  However, given that 
the Chinese advance party arrived on November 24 (ref E) and the 
main body has yet to arrive, post suspects that Egypt's anticipated 
deployment of its 275 engineers in late April is overly optimistic. 
This suggests that the construction of camps by the Egyptian 
engineering company for other UNAMID forces will be delayed.  As a 
result, UNAMID will be hard-pressed to reach its stated goal of 
achieving fifty percent deployment by July 1, 2008.
